We would like to invite you to attend the 8th International Endocrine and Diabetic Congress being held in Chicago, USA on 13-14 March 2023.
The exhibition focuses to provide a wide field for online interaction of endocrinologists, diabetes researchers, academics, industrialists, students and professors from around the world on a platform.
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide and is one of the fastest-growing international health crises of the 21st century. Diabetes that is not managed properly can have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality, including as a risk factor for stroke, kidney dysfunction, leg amputation, cardiovascular disease, vision loss, and neuropathy. The economic costs of diabetes can also be very high through direct medical costs to individuals, families and health care systems, as well as lost jobs and wages. Diabetes management strategies often include regular physical activity, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and a healthy diet. In addition, dietary interventions in the management of diabetes may include reducing dietary calories, using a low glycaemic index diet, and increasing dietary fibre content.
The role of dietary fibre in health and diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer and obesity is a subject of considerable interest. Although dietary fibre has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic disease, its effect on the gut macrobiotic and type 2 diabetes is an emerging area of research and concern that may promote intestinal macrobiotic dysbiosis due to the loss of beneficial and protective effects. Microbial yield in a high-fibre diet can inhibit protein fermentation and promote microbial eubiosis in the gut. It has been reported that dietary fibre is an important source of energy for gut bacteria and therefore can significantly influence the diversity of the gut microflora.
Research
Therefore, this editorial provides an overview of the articles published in this special issue on recent advances in nutrition and diabetes. It focuses on the role of nutrition in the pathophysiology and management of diabetes, including its impact on the gut microbiota. The researchers have conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that attempted to assess the role of dietary fibre in modulating gut microbiota dysbiosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. The authors refer to the Featured Reporting Items for a Systematic Review and meta-analysis. Electronic databases, including EBSCO Host with links to health science research databases, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and article reference lists, were searched for relevant studies.
The search was carried out from the launch date of the database to August 5, 2020, and was based on the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, Studies (PICOS) framework.
There were nine studies that met the inclusion criteria and were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. Four different areas have been identified, namely the influence of dietary fibre on the gut microbiota, the role of dietary fibre on short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), glycaemic control, and side effects. The authors found a significant difference (p<0.01) in the relative abundance of Bifid bacterium with a mean difference of 0.72 (95% CI, 0.56, 0.89) in total SCFA (p=0.02), with a difference of a standard mean of 0.5 (95% CI 0.08, 0.91) between the fibre groups compared with placebo. However, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the groups in terms of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid.
How does nutrition play a role in diabetes?
The more carbohydrates you eat, the higher your blood sugar will be. Whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, choosing the right foods is an important way to keep your blood sugar levels at a healthy level.
What is the best nutrition for diabetes?
Avoid fat-containing food, junk foods, sweets, sugary drinks, and anything salty or fatty. Eat a lot of veggies, with whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy, fruit, and healthy fats. You may need to eat every few hours to keep your blood sugar levels steady. There should be a proper diet plan to be followed.
How does nutrition play a role in diabetes?
Cut down on oily foods, sweets, sugary drinks, and anything else that is salty or greasy. Instead, focus on lots of vegetables with whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy, fruits, and healthy fats. You may need to eat something every few hours to keep your blood sugar levels stable.
How does diet protect against diabetes?
Achieving a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, a carbohydrate-controlled diet, and regular exercise all help improve blood sugar control. If you are on insulin medication, you may need more or fewer carbohydrates with meals or snacks to ensure healthy blood sugar levels.
Conclusion
Diabetes is a serious, life-threatening disease and requires constant monitoring and effective control through appropriate treatment and adaptation to a healthy lifestyle. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular check-ups and proper medication, we can lead a healthy and long life.
