Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The associations between dietary patterns and diabetes have been evidenced considerably in the literature. However, other factors may also contribute to the pathways between dietary patterns and diabetes outcomes, including environmental factors, quality of life (health status) or diabetes-specific quality of life, psychosocial factors, as well as other self-care behaviors. The evidence is even little in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where have the higher proportion of diabetes burden (e.g., China and India). Therefore, we are inviting you to submit an article/review/clinal trial on the topic of dietary patterns and diabetes outcomes, considering the other factors that would contribute to the pathways. Studies conducted in LMICs are very welcome.

Approximately 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience an early-morning rise in fasting glucose that is not effectively treated by available oral hypoglycemic agents. This study aimed to determine the acute effect of consuming almond butter as an evening snack on fasting and overnight interstitial glucose, compared to a no-snack control, in people with T2D. Adults with T2D, not taking insulin, were recruited to participate in this two-week randomized, controlled, crossover pilot study. Participants received 2 tbsp of natural almond butter as an evening snack, or a no-snack control, for one week each. Glucose was measured by continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Analyses were performed using linear mixed effect modeling in R. Ten adults (60% female; age: 57 ± 5.6 years) completed the study. The intervention did not significantly influence fasting glucose [4–6 a.m.; β = 5.5, 95% CI = [−0.9, 12.0], p = 0.091; Marginal R2 = 0.001, Conditional R2 = 0.954] or overnight glucose (12–3 a.m.; β = 5.5, 95% CI = [−0.8, 11.8], p = 0.089; Marginal R2 = 0.001, Conditional R2 = 0.958). Significant variability in continuously measured glucose was observed. These findings will inform the design of a larger investigation. Full article
