Abstract
BACKGROUND: Serum glucose levels can get close to a normal level by an appropriate diet. The
present study aims to investigate the effect of low-calorie diets (1200, 1500, 1800 Kcal) on glucose and
lipid levels, and HbA1C serum levels of newly diagnosed type Il diabetic patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 68 patients
with type Il diabetes mellitus, whose disease was recently diagnosed. The study criteria included fasting
blood glucose higher than 126 mg/dL, HbA‘1c higher than 7% and BMI higher than 25. Fasting blood
glucose levels, 2-hour post-prandial blood sugar and blood lipids were measured before and after
intervention. Then, the patients were trained by an expert. After completing the questionnaires, the data
were analyzed.
RESULTS: In this study, the mean fasting blood glucose level in patients who used 1200, 1500 and 1800
kcal diets decreased significantly after intervention (p<0.05). In addition, fasting blood glucose levels
and 2-hour post-prandial blood sugar decreased significantly using 1500 and 1800 kcal diets, while the
1200 kcal diet significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (Chol), LDL, and
hemoglobin A1C (HbA‘1c). There was a significant decrease in triglyceride based on the 1500 kcal diet in
terms of gender.
CONCLUSION: Using low-calorie diets (1200, 1500 and 1800 kcal) in newly diagnosed diabetic patients
can lead to blood sugar and lipid control in these patients, and among these diets, the use of a 1500 kcal
diet can be more useful because of lower limitation and better tolerance and acceptance.
