Eat food cooked at home, say scientistsThey then evaluated how such variations in diet affected measures of metabolic health, including blood sugar, blood insulin, insulin resistance and sensitivity and ability to produce insulin in response to blood sugar. Consuming foods such as walnuts and soybeans, that have unsaturated fats and not dietary carbohydrates, can help cut blood sugar level and manage type-2 diabetes, claim researchers. “Among different fats, the most consistent benefits were seen for increasing polyunsaturated fats, in place of either carbohydrates or saturated fat,” said Fumiaki Imamura, Researcher, University of Cambridge. The study provides evidence for the effects of dietary fats and carbohydrate on the regulation of glucose and insulin levels and several other metrics linked to type 2 diabetes. The researchers found that exchanging dietary carbohydrate or saturated fat with a diet rich in monounsaturated fat or polyunsaturated fat had a beneficial effect on key markers of blood glucose control.
