Studies Regarding Diabetes Prevention

1. An exclusive natural food diet can increase dietary fiber – “Dietary Fiber in Treatment of Diabetes: Myth or Reality?” in Digestive and Liver Diseases v.34 2002
2. A high fiber diet, compared to a low fiber diet, in diabetic patients improves glycemic control and reduces the number of hypoglycemic events – “Long-term Dietary Treatment With Increased Amounts of Fiber-Rich Low–Glycemic Index Natural Foods Improves Blood Glucose Control and Reduces the Number of Hypoglycemic Events in Type 1 Diabetic Patients,” in Diabetes Care v.23 2000
3. A gluten-free diet reduces the incidence of diabetes mellitus in non-obese diabetic mice – “Diabetes preventive gluten-free diet decreases the number of caecal bacteria in non-obese diabetic mice,” in Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews v.22 2006 p.220-225
4. Tannic acid may be useful for the prevention and treatment of T2D and its associated obesity – “Tannic Acid Stimulates glucose Transport and Inhibits Adipocyte Differentiation in 3T3-L1 Cells,” in the Journal of Nutrition February 2005, v.135 p.165-171
5. ***Because a natural food diet can increase dietary fiber (4.3) and a diet high in dietary fiber can improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemic events THEREFORE a natural foods diet can improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemic events.
