STUDY: Low-fat vegan diet may be best for diabetes
From The Nation
A low-fat vegan diet may be the best way to fight diabetes, says a new study. It is estimated that as many as 18 million Americans have type-2 diabetes, which results from a combination of genetics and poor eating and exercise habits. The condition greatly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and limb loss.
Neal Barnard and researchers from George Washington University, the University of Toronto and the University of North Carolina tested 99 people with type-2 diabetes, and then randomly assigned them to a low-fat, low-sugar vegan diet or the standard American Diabetes Association diet.
The researchers found that after 22 weeks on the diet, 43 percent of those on the vegan diet and 26 percent of those on the standard diet were either able to stop taking some of their drugs such as insulin or glucose-control medications, or were able to control their condition with lower doses, reported science portal News Medical.
The vegan dieters lost 14 pounds (6.5 kg) on an average while the diabetes association dieters lost 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg).
An important level of glucose control, which gives a measure of how well controlled blood sugar has been over the preceding three months, fell by 1.23 points in the vegan group and by 0.38 in the group on the standard diet.
It was also found that LDL or “bad” cholesterol also fell by 21 percent in the vegan group and 10 percent in the standard diet group.
“The diet appears remarkably effective, and all the side effects are good ones — especially weight loss and lower cholesterol,” said Barnard.
A vegan diet is plant-based and consists of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes and avoids animal products, such as meat and dairy and is low in added fat and sugar.

Medical technology is taking another step forward with a system to help diabetics look out for signs of infection and inflammation often found in feet.
The Vincent 50 foot scanner has been created by medical-tech company, MeDaVinci, based in Liverpool, UK and produces "non weight-bearing" images of the foot. These images eliminate pressure-shots of the foot resting down, which means experts can clearly identify any areas that may be infected.Medical technology is taking another step forward with a system to help diabetics look... more

A YOUNG scientist from Co Kerry believes she has discovered a flaw in drink-driving breathalyser results.
Her research suggests that both diabetics and those on very low-calorie diets are more likely to show false positive results because of chemical changes in their blood.
Ciara Stein (13), who is a student at Presentation Secondary School in Tralee, explained how these devices could misread results and indicate a person was drink-driving.
“Diabetics and people on very, very low calorie diets can trigger false positives on breathalyser tests,” she said yesterday.
Ciara’s study is one of 500 currently on display at the RDS in the 2009 BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. The overall young scientist of the year will be announced later this evening.
“This project has lots of importance to lawyers,” Ciara suggested.
The chemical changes in the blood are caused when levels of sugar drop too low, she explained.
“If you are diabetic or you are on a very low calorie diet, you can become hypoglycaemic – your blood sugar is too low. When this happens, you get ketones on your breath,” she said.A YOUNG scientist from Co Kerry believes she has discovered a flaw in drink-driving... more
