Comparison of a high‐carbohydrate and a high‐monounsaturated fat, olive oil‐rich diet on the susceptibility of LDL to oxidative modification in subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Natural food-based high-CHO and high-MUFA diets have similar effects on LDL oxidative resistance and metabolic control in subjects with Type 2 diabetes. A MUFA diet is a good alternative to high-CHO diets for nutrition therapy of diabetes because it also has a beneficial effect on the lipid profile and superior patient acceptance.
