Why Diabetics Should Avoid High-Carb Diets for Better Blood Pressure
Overview
Recent research highlights the impact of diet on blood pressure in type 2 diabetes patients, revealing that high-carbohydrate diets can lead to an increase in blood pressure compared to diets rich in monounsaturated fats.Study Insights
The study compared the effects of two diets over 14 weeks among individuals with type 2 diabetes:1. High-Carbohydrate Diet:
- 55% carbohydrates
- 30% fat
- 10% monounsaturated fat
2. High-Monounsaturated Fat Diet:
- 40% carbohydrates
- 45% fat
- 25% monounsaturated fat
Forty-two patients participated, each following both diets for 6 weeks with a one-week break in between. Some continued the second diet for an additional 8 weeks.
Results
After the initial 6 weeks, there were no substantial differences in blood pressure or heart rate between the two diet groups. However, following the 8-week extension:- High-Carbohydrate Diet:
- Diastolic blood pressure increased by 7 points.
- Systolic blood pressure increased by 6 points.
- Heart rate rose by 7 to 8 beats per minute.
- High-Monounsaturated Fat Diet:
- Notable decrease in heart rate.
- Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 3 to 4 points.
Conclusion
The findings suggest that high-carbohydrate diets may elevate blood pressure in type 2 diabetes patients, whereas diets high in monounsaturated fats could offer cardiovascular benefits. Choosing the right dietary plan is crucial for managing diabetes and maintaining heart health.You can find the original non-AI version of this article here: Diabetes Diabetics Should Not Have A High Carb Diet Due To Blood Pressure.
