DIABETICS SHOULD NOT HAVE A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE DIET DUE TO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
New studies evaluating the
effects of high-carbohydrate and high- monounsaturated fat diets indicate that
patients with type 2 diabetes suffered of modestly raises blood pressure after
being exposed to 14 weeks of a high-carbohydrate diet compared to a diet high
in monounsaturated fat.
One diet consisted of a
high-carbohydrate diet consisting of 55 percent of calories from carbohydrates,
30 percent from fat, and 10 percent from monounsaturated fat. The other diet
consisted of a high monounsaturated fat diet that derived 40% of calories from
carbohydrates, 45% from fat, and 25% from monounsaturated fat.
The research compared the
effect of two diets with the same calories among 42 patients with type 2
diabetes, who consumed each diet for 6 weeks, with approximately 1 week between
the two periods. These patients were asked to continue on the second diet for
an additional 8 weeks. Eight of them continued on the high monounsaturated fat
diet and 13 continued on the high carbohydrate diet.
Results after the first
6-week periods showed no significant differences between the two diets in
systolic or diastolic blood pressure, the top and bottom numbers on a standard
reading, respectively, or heart rate.
After the 8
week-extension, diastolic blood pressure was 7 points higher than at the end of
both 6-week phases, because of the high carbohydrate diet associated, and
systolic blood pressure was 6 points higher, and heart rate was higher by 7 to
8 beats per minute.
On the other hand, there
was a significant reduction in heart rate compared to the end of the initial
6-week periods during the 8-week extension of the high monounsaturated fat diet.
There was almost no statistical significance between systolic and diastolic
blood pressure that was 3 to 4 points lower after 14 weeks on the high
monounsaturated fat diet.
