Document Summary
Article 1: dietary intervention with oatmeal in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two days of oatmeal intervention on insulin resistance and glucose metabolism. This research was done by a group of researchers from germany and austria. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. In their previous study, they did not make their interventions isocaloric. The study was between oatmeal 1100 kcal/d. vs. diabetes adapted diet: 1500 kcal/d. To resolve these issues, they developed a new study, which is the oatmeal and insulin resistance (oma-ir) study. This was an open-label, crossover study with isocaloric interventions of oatmeal vs. hospital diet. They hypothesized that a two-day intervention with oatmeal will lead to a stronger amelioration of glucose control, and a greater reduction of the insulin dosage as compared to standard dm- adapted diet.
