Abstract

Purpose: Proper evaluation of polyphenols intake at the population level is a necessary step in order to establish possible associations with health outcomes. Available data are limited, and so far no study has been performed in people with diabetes. The aim of this work was to document the intake of polyphenols and their major food sources in a cohort of people with type 2 diabetes and in socio-demographic subgroups. Methods: We studied 2573 men and women aged 50–75 years. Among others, anthropometry was measured by standard protocol and dietary habits were investigated by food frequency questionnaire (EPIC). The intake of polyphenols was evaluated using US Department of Agriculture and Phenol-Explorer databases. Results: The mean total polyphenol intake was 683.3 ± 5.8 mg/day. Non-alcoholic beverages represented the main food source of dietary polyphenols and provided 35.5% of total polyphenol intake, followed by fruits (23.0%), alcoholic beverages (14.0%), vegetables (12.4%), cereal products and tubers (4.6%), legumes (3.7%) and oils (2.1%); chocolate, cakes and nuts are negligible sources of polyphenols in this cohort. The two most important polyphenol classes contributing to the total intake were flavonoids (47.5%) and phenolic acids (47.4%). Polyphenol intake increased with age and education level and decreased with BMI; furthermore, in the northern regions of Italy, the polyphenol intake was slightly, but significantly higher than in the central or southern regions. Conclusions: The study documents for the first time the intake of polyphenols and their main food sources in people with diabetes using validated and complete databases of the polyphenol content of food. Compared with published data, collected in people without diabetes, these results suggest a lower intake and a different pattern of intake in people with diabetes.

Abstract

Background The best treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes in whom treatment with metformin alone fails to achieve adequate glycaemic control is debated. We aimed to compare the long-term effects of pioglitazone versus sulfonylureas, given in addition to metformin, on cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods TOSCA.IT was a multicentre, randomised, pragmatic clinical trial, in which patients aged 50–75 years with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy (2–3 g per day) were recruited from 57 diabetes clinics in Italy. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1), by permuted blocks randomisation (block size 10), stratified by site and previous cardiovascular events, to add-on pioglitazone (15–45 mg) or a sulfonylurea (5–15 mg glibenclamide, 2–6 mg glimepiride, or 30–120 mg gliclazide, in accordance with local practice). The trial was unblinded, but event adjudicators were unaware of treatment assignment. The primary outcome, assessed with a Cox proportional-hazards model, was a composite of first occurrence of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or urgent coronary revascularisation, assessed in the modified intention-to-treat population (all randomly assigned participants with baseline data available and without any protocol violations in relation to inclusion or exclusion criteria). This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00700856. Findings Between Sept 18, 2008, and Jan 15, 2014, 3028 patients were randomly assigned and included in the analyses. 1535 were assigned to pioglitazone and 1493 to sulfonylureas (glibenclamide 24 [2%], glimepiride 723 [48%], gliclazide 745 [50%]). At baseline, 335 (11%) participants had a previous cardiovascular event. The study was stopped early on the basis of a futility analysis after a median follow-up of 57·3 months. The primary outcome occurred in 105 patients (1·5 per 100 person-years) who were given pioglitazone and 108 (1·5 p

Abstract

Background: Pasta is a refined carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. Whether pasta shares the metabolic advantages of other low glycemic index foods has not really been investigated. The aim of this study is to document, in people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, the connected dietary habits, and the association with glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: We studied 2562 participants. The dietary habits were assessed with the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) questionnaire. Sex-specific quartiles of pasta consumption were created in order to explore the study aims. Results: A higher pasta consumption was associated with a lower intake of proteins, total and saturated fat, cholesterol, added sugar, and fiber. Glucose control, body mass index, prevalence of obesity, and visceral obesity were not significantly different across the quartiles of pasta intake. No relation was found with LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, but there was an inverse relation with HDL-cholesterol. Systolic blood pressure increased with pasta consumption, but this relation was not confirmed after correction for confounders. Conclusions: In people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, within the limits recommended for total carbohydrates intake, is not associated with worsening of glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract

Purpose: The optimal macronutrient composition of the diet for the management of type 2 diabetes is debated, particularly with regard to the ideal proportion of fat and carbohydrates. The aim of the study was to explore the association of different proportions of fat and carbohydrates of the diet—within the ranges recommended by different guidelines—with metabolic risk factors. Methods: We studied 1785 people with type 2 diabetes, aged 50–75, enrolled in the TOSCA.IT Study. Dietary habits were assessed using a validated food-frequency questionnaire (EPIC). Anthropometry, fasting lipids, HbA1c and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured. Results: Increasing fat intake from

Abstract

Background and aims: Diabetic women have a more adverse plasma lipid profile than men. Sex differences in dietary habits may play a role, but are little investigated. The study evaluates the quality of diet, adherence to the nutritional recommendations of the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group and their relation with plasma lipid in men and women with diabetes. Methods and results: We studied 2573 people, aged 50e75, enrolled in the TOSCA.IT study (clinicaltrials.gov; NCT00700856). Plasma lipids were measured centrally. Diet was assessed with a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.Women had a more adverse plasma lipid profile than men.Women consumed significantly more legumes, vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, vegetable oils, and added sugar, whereas men consumed more starchy foods, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. This stands for a higher proportion (%) of energy intake from saturated fat and added sugar (12.0 2.4 vs 11.5 2.5 and 3.4 3.2 vs 2.3 3.2, P < 0.04), and a higher intake of fiber (11.2 2.8 vs 10.4 2.6 g/1000 Kcal/day) in women. Adherence to the recommendations for saturated fat and fiber consumption was associated with significantly lower LDL-cholesterol regardless of sex. Adherence to the recommendations for added sugars was associated with significantly lower triglycerides and higher HDL-cholesterol in men and women. Conclusions: Men and women with diabetes show significant differences in adherence to nutritional recommendations, but sex differences in plasma lipid profile are unlikely to be explained by nutritional factors. Adherence to the nutritional recommendations is associated with a better plasma lipid profile regardless of sex, thus reinforcing the importance of substituting saturated for unsaturated fat sources, increasing fiber and reducing added sugar intake.

Abstract

RIASSUNTO Nonostante gli sforzi per diffondere e implementare le raccomandazioni nutrizionali per il trattamento del diabete, la loro applicazione nella pratica clinica è ancora largamente insufficiente. Tra le possibili ragioni va considerato il fatto che le abitudini alimentari risentono molto delle tradizioni gastronomiche locali. Lo studio si propone di valutare le abitudini alimentari delle persone con diabete in tre macroaree geografiche italiane, nord, centro e sud, per studiare in che misura le tradizioni gastronomiche locali possano influenzare l'adesione alle raccomandazioni nutrizionali. Sono stati studiati 1786 pazienti diabetici di tipo 2; le abitudini alimentari sono state indagate con un questionario alimentare semiquantitativo di frequenza validato (EPIC, European Prospective Investigation on Cancer and Nutrition). L'introito energetico è sovrapponibile nelle 3 macroaree geografiche, ma gli alimenti che contribuiscono alla composizione della dieta sono diversi a seconda della locazione geografica: al nord si osserva un maggiore consumo di carne, salumi e grassi animali; al sud, un maggiore consumo di pane integrale e legumi. Questo si traduce in una differente composizione in nutrienti della dieta: il consumo di grassi totali, grassi saturi e polinsaturi risulta significativamente più basso al sud e al centro rispetto al nord (p < 0,05); il contrario si osserva, invece, per i carboidrati totali e la fibra alimentare (p < 0,05). Infine, la proporzione di pazienti che aderiscono alle raccomandazioni nutrizionali è generalmente scarsa sia per il consumo di fibra, mediamente inferiore rispetto a quanto raccomandato, sia per il consumo di grassi saturi, mediamente superiore ai livelli consigliati. In conclusione, le raccomandazioni nutrizionali sono scarsamente seguite su tutto il territorio nazionale; si osservano, tuttavia, significative differenze geografiche verosimilmente dovute all'influenza delle tradizioni gastronomiche locali che vanno tenute in conto per migliorare l'adesione dei pazienti alle raccomandazioni dietetiche.

Abstract

Aims The aim of this case–control study was to compare quality of life (QoL) and treatment satisfaction in adults with Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) treated with either continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDI). Methods Consecutive patients aged between 18 and 55 years, and attending diabetes clinics for a routine visit, completed the Diabetes-Specific Quality-of-Life Scale (DSQOLS), the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) and the SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36). Case (CSII) and control subjects (MDI) were recruited in a 1 : 2 ratio. Results Overall, 1341 individuals were enrolled by 62 diabetes clinics; 481 were cases and 860 control subjects. Cases had a longer diabetes duration and were more likely to have eye and renal complications. Age, school education, occupation and HbA 1c were similar. Of control subjects, 90% followed glargine-based MDI regimens and 10% used NPH-based MDI regimens. On multivariate analysis, after adjusting for socioeconomic and clinical characteristics, scores in the following areas of the DSQOLS were higher in cases than control subjects: diet restrictions ( β = 5.96; P < 0.0001), daily hassles ( β = 3.57; P = 0.01) and fears about hypoglycaemia ( β = 3.88; P = 0.006). Treatment with CSII was also associated with a markedly higher DTSQ score ( β = 4.13; P < 0.0001) compared with MDI. Results were similar when CSII was compared separately with glargine- or NPH-based MDI regimens. Conclusions This large, non-randomized, case–control study suggests quality of life gains deriving from greater lifestyle flexibility, less fear of hypoglycaemia, and higher treatment satisfaction, when CSII is compared with either glargine-based or NPH-based MDI regimens.

Abstract

Epidemiological studies have shown that obesity, as well as haemorheological changes are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study performed in grossly obese subjects was to investigate: (a) the effects on haemorheological parameters of a 3 month period of very low calorie diet (VLCD, 514 and 470 Kcal/day in women and men respectively), and (b) the relationship between haemorheological test results at baseline and the different types of body fat distribution. Fifty-two obese healthy subjects (31 women), with BMI > 30, were examined at baseline; 34 of these (19 women), compliant with the diet, were also examined after 3 months VLCD. At baseline, the results of haemorheological variables were not significantly different for patients in the highest waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) tertile vs those in the other two tertiles. After VLCD, body weight and BMI decreased markedly. The values of Ht, plasma viscosity (PV), erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI) values (P < 0.001) and white blood cell (WBC) counts (P < 0.01) significantly dropped. Globulin levels decreased, while albumin levels increased leading to significantly (P < 0.001) higher A/G ratios. No significant changes in fibrinogen (Fgn) levels were recorded after diet. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that prolonged VLCD associated with slimming in grossly obese subjects is effective in improving related haemorheological disorders, mainly of plasmatic type, except Fgn. Second, we found that, at least in these grossly obese subjects, there is no clear evidence of a relationship between the degree of haemorheological changes and WHR values.

Abstract

The influence of a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) on lipid pattern is controversial. To evaluate the long-term effect of semistarvation on lipid patterns, a group of severely obese patients [aged 37 +/- 12 y, body mass index (BMI) 40.0 +/- 0.9] underwent a VLCD for 8 wk. Total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), apolipoproteins A1 (apo A1) and B (apo B) were analyzed every week. TC (6.07 +/- 0.23 vs 5.53 +/- 0.25 mmol/L, P less than 0.0008), HDL-C (mmol/L 1.26 +/- 0.06 vs 1.04 +/- 0.05 mmol/L, P less than 0.0001), TGs (1.46 +/- 0.19 vs 1.06 +/- 0.10 mmol/L, P less than 0.0008), and apo A1 (1.57 +/- 0.06 vs 1.32 +/- 0.06 g/L, P less than 0.0002) decreased, whereas LDL-C and apo B showed a biphasic behavior: they significantly fell during the first 3 wk, but during the last weeks returned to their initial values.

Abstract

The study of body composition is becoming increasingly important in the field of nutritional medicine. The possibility of assessing body composition easily and economically has therefore raised considerable interest. Using straightforward correlations, we have compared the data obtained from the assessment of BF% using plicometry, impedance analysis and the interactivity of close-infrared rays; in addition, we studied the possible influence of the distribution of fatty tissue, expressed as W/H, on the results obtained using these methods. One hundred and forty-eight subjects (51 M and 97 F) were studied aged between 13 and 76 years old, with BMI ranging between 16.8 and 56.4; subjects were divided into three groups according to BMI and W/H. The three methods proved to be well correlated in patients with BMI less than 30 (r between 0.92 and 0.74), whereas correlations were less marked and less significant in groups with BMI greater than 30. W/H seemed capable of influencing results obtained using these methods and this was more evident in results obtained using impedance analysis (p less than 0.0001). The three methods studied were comparable in normal weight and slightly overweight patients, whereas contrasting findings were obtained in patients with moderate and severe obesity. Extreme caution must therefore be used in interpreting the data obtained in these subjects.

Abstract

In order to evaluate slimming effects on certain metabolic (cholesterol, triglycerides, basal insulinaemia) and haemorheologic (haematocrit, fibrinogen, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity) rates, we studied 24 obese subjects (15 female and nine male) aged 25-58, with BMI ranging from 35.5 to 67, before and after a hypocaloric diet period involving a 20-kg weight loss. All subjects underwent blood sampling to assess: OGTT, plasma proteins, serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, serum triglycerides, haematocrit, whole blood viscosity at high and low shear rate with and without correction of 45 per cent haematocrit, plasmatic capillary viscosity and fibrinogen level. Our study showed no significant changes in plasma proteins, serum HDL-cholesterol, haematocrit, fibrinogen and whole blood viscosity at high and low shear rate, while basal insulinaemia, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low shear rate corrected at 45 per cent haematocrit blood viscosity and capillary plasmatic viscosity are significantly reduced. However the analysis of possible relation between the differences of assessed rates before and after slimming has shown no significant correlations. In conclusion, we can say that the slimming of very obese subjects improves blood and plasma viscosity, but the mechanism by which this improvement occurs is not the one which usually affects the determination of these rates.
