Hello, Everyone!
This week marks the opening of the regular season for pro football, and so, for this week's post, I've decided to try to tackle a tough subject in relation to nutrition: Type 2 Diabetes!
While researching for my final paper, I came across something very recent and, at least for me, very interesting in the prestigious British Medical Journal or BMJ. They published the results in their July 20, 2010 issue of a randomized controlled trial in England on the effects of individualized dietary advice in patients with poorly controlled Type 2 Diabetes. What they found was that such advice in these patients significantly lowered their hemoglobin A1c, a reliable biomarker of long-term blood sugar control, their Body Mass Index or BMI, and their waist circumference after six months (Clifton)!
Chalk one up in the win column for the Nutritionists, Registered Dieticians, and their patients!! For more info, please see:
Clifton, P. (July 20, 2010). Nutrition in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. BMJ. 34(3393).
Retrieved September 1, 2010 from:

As always, I hope you have enjoyed this week's post and that it has provided you with some Food For Thought! Until next time...!!
Vicky
