Aims/hypothesis
Sugar has been suggested to promote obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease (CHD), yet fruit, despite containing sugars, may also have a low glycaemic index (GI) and all fruits are generally recommended for good health. We therefore assessed the effect of fruit with special emphasis on low GI fruit intake in type 2 diabetes.
Methods
This secondary analysis involved 152 type 2 diabetic participants treated with glucose-lowering agents who completed either 6 months of high fibre or low GI dietary advice, including fruit advice, in a parallel design.
Results
Change in low GI fruit intake ranged from −3.1 to 2.7 servings/day. The increase in low GI fruit intake significantly predicted reductions in HbA1c (r = −0.206, p = 0.011), systolic blood pressure (r = −0.183, p = 0.024) and CHD risk (r = −0 …
