BACKGROUND: The optimal source and amount of dietary carbohydrate for managing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are unknown. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the effects of altering the glycemic index or the amount of carbohydrate on glycated hemoglobin (HbA₁c), plasma glucose, lipids, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in T2DM patients. DESIGN: Subjects with T2DM managed by diet alone (n = 162) were randomly assigned to receive high-carbohydrate, high-glycemic-index (high-GI), high-carbohydrate, low-glycemic-index (low-GI), or low-carbohydrate, high-monounsaturated-fat (low-CHO) diets for 1 y. RESULTS: The high-GI, low-GI, and low-CHO diets contained, respectively, 47%, 52%, and 39% of energy as carbohydrate and 31%, 27%, and 40% of energy as fat; they had GIs of 63, 55, and 59, respectively. Body weight and HbA₁c did not differ significantly between diets. Fasting glucose was higher (P = 0.041), but 2-h postload glucose was lower (P = 0.010) after 12 mo of the low-GI diet. With the low-GI diet, overall mean triacylglycerol was 12% higher and HDL cholesterol 4% lower than with the low-CHO diet (P < 0.05), but the difference in the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol disappeared by 6 mo (time x diet interaction, P = 0.044). Overall mean CRP with the low-GI diet, 1.95 mg/L, was 30% less than that with the high-GI diet, 2.75 mg/L (P = 0.0078); the concentration with the low-CHO diet, 2.35 mg/L, was intermediate. CONCLUSIONS: In subjects with T2DM managed by diet alone with optimal glycemic control, long-term HbA₁c was not affected by altering the GI or the amount of dietary carbohydrate. Differences in total:HDL cholesterol among diets had disappeared by 6 mo. However, because of sustained reductions in postprandial glucose and CRP, a low-GI diet may be preferred for the dietary management of T2DM.
