Research status on calorie restriction on glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Calorie restriction is one of the diet therapies for people with diabetes.Calorie restriction can reduce weight and improve glycemic control,but the long-term effects are controversial.The effects can be influenced by the degree of calorie restriction,the study duration,and the types of food used for intervention.The mechanism includes the improvement of β cell function and insulin sensitivity.The existing problems are compliance of patients,long-term effects,possible adverse effects,and the lack of high-quality studies.In this review,we introduced the current research progress of calorie restriction on glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes.
