Do high protein, lower carb diets apply to persons with diabetes? This study published in Diabetes Care shows that a high protein (30-40-30 protein-carbs-fat) diet among persons with diabetes type II has some significant benefits:
1. Reduction of body weight by 11 lbs in 5 weeks.
2. Reduction of abdominal body fat.
This seems to apply only to the women in the study but the men. They still don't know why that is.
Notes:
Diabetics with kidney disease or protein in their urine should consult a professional first before increasing protein intake.
