Minor tweaks to daily diet can check diabetes, finds study

The Hindu  

Diabetologists have shown that reducing carbohydrate intake could result in remission of diabetes. A recent study using the Indian Council of Medical Research-Indian Diabetes data has shown that by reducing carbohydrate and increasing protein and fat in the daily diet, diabetes progression can be controlled. Anjana, Vice-President of Mohan Diabetes Research Foundation, led the study that is based on the food habits of 18,090 adults across the country. V. Mohan, director and chief of diabetes research at the MDRF, said a recommendation to the population to alter the diet composition was necessary, as in another 20 years, the diabetic population could reach around 130 million. The study has called for “new dietary guidelines that recommend appropriate changes in macronutrient composition” to reduce the burden of diabetes across South Asia.
