Effect of Nuts vs. a Wheat Bran Muffin in Type 2 Diabetes

Summary

To determine if tree nuts (Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pistachios, Peanuts, Macadamia nuts, Pecans, Walnuts and Cashews) improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, as assessed by HbA1c and serum fructosamine, and to assess whether these outcomes relate to improvements in cardiovascular health (i.e. plasma lipids and measures of oxidative stress, inflammatory biomarkers and nitric oxide generation). The investigators have found that nuts tend to reduce the glycemic index of bread and have little effect of raising blood glucose on their own. Therefore the investigators believe that they would be ideal foods to displace high glycemic foods from the diet and lower the dietary glycemic load. This will result in improved blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes, with additional benefits on coronary heart disease risk factors due to other effects of nuts.
