Effects of diet composition and ketosis on glycemia during very-low-energy-diet therapy in obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
B Gumbiner, JA Wendel, MP McDermott - The American journal of clinical …, 1996 - Elsevier
To determine whether high-ketogenic very-low-energy diets (VLEDs) can reduce hepatic
glucose output (HGO) and hyperglycemia more effectively than can low-ketogenic VLEDs in
obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), seven patients were
treated with a high-ketogenic VLED for 3 wk and were compared with six patients treated
with a low-ketogenic VLED. All patients were then crossed over and treated with the
alternate diet for another 3 wk. Basal HGO, fasting ketone bodies, and glycemia, insulin, and …
