Summary

This study investigated any potential associations between two isocaloric diets with different meal frequency (3 meals versus 6 meals) and glycemic control in people at high diabetes risk (lean and overweight/obese women with PCOS, individuals with hyperinsulinemia, individuals with impaired glucose tolerance) and diagnosed with diabetes.

Conditions

  • Impaired Glucose Tolerance
  • Hyperinsulinism
  • Poor Glycemic Control
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Insulin Sensitivity

Interventions

OTHER

Isocaloric diet with 3 meals

Isocaloric diet with 3 meals in order to maintain volunteers' weight, tailored to individual energy needs, with the same macronutrient composition. The volunteers were free to choose the foods they used to consume before. However, in order to assist them to adapt to the different meal frequency, individualized instructions were given to all volunteers before their entry to the study. An example of a 7-day diet menu was prescribed for both diet programs and analytical food exchange lists of different food groups were also provided.
