title: [The use of drinking mineral waters and the fiber-enriched diet for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus].
abstract: This study included 160 patients (mean age 53.4 +/- 1.32 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus of whom 99 (61.8%) had adequately compensated metabolic disorders and the remaining ones suffered uncompensated disease. All the patients were allocated to 4 groups differing in terms of dietary therapy (two treatment and two control groups). It was shown that treatment with the high-fiber diet (46-55 g/day) in combination with mineral water markedly accelerated normalization of blood glucose level and lipid metabolism, reduction of body weight and arterial pressure; moreover, it improved general efficiency of therapy.
