Dietary changes can lead to diabetes remission: ICMR study

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: A recent national study funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research that included responses from 18,090 adults found that making minor dietary changes can result in diabetes remission and prevention. According to the study's findings, diabetes remission can be achieved if carbohydrate content is reduced to 49 to 54 per cent, while protein intake is increased to 19 to 20 per cent, and consumption of fat is maintained at 21 to 26 per cent. Carbohydrate content of 54-57 per cent, protein content of 16-20 per cent, and fat content of 20-24 per cent would suffice to prevent progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes. In addition to reducing carb intake, they would need to lose 5-10 per cent of their body weight and implement strict lifestyle changes.
