Big Breakfast Best for Diabetes Control, Study Shows

In this study the Type 2 diabetics on the big breakfast had low carbohydrates and high fat and high protein, and they appeared to have better glycemic control," noted presentation moderator Andreas Pfeiffer, MD. "There are a number of studies which are going in the same direction and which appear to reinforce and support that view, so having a good breakfast in the morning and then a second meal in the afternoon and a little [meal] in the evening appears to be a good scheme." He added, however, that for people with diabetes and kidney problems, the diet may not be ideal due to its high protein content. Because the study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, the findings should be considered preliminary. Limitations of the trial include its small size and short duration.
