Indication: Cholesterol profiles in type 2 diabetics
Source: Experimental Biology Meeting held in April in San Diego, CA.
Research: In this study, 34 participants with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive a nutritional beverage fortified with Diachrome, or the same beverage without Diachrome, for 12 weeks.
Results: The group receiving the beverage containing Diachrome revealed significant decreases in total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and an increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, compared to the control group. While earlier studies have demonstrated Diachrome can attenuate glycemic response to carbohydrate-rich beverages in people with diabetes, these new finding indicate that Diachrome fortification may also reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
