Abstract

Background and Aim: One of the problems that threaten public health is the increase in the number of diabetics in the world, 90% of who have type II diabetes. In most cases, dietary foods and controlling weight can maintain their blood sugar and lipids at normal range. This study was intended to evaluate the effect of nutrients intake on blood sugar, serum triglyceride, and cholesterol in type II diabetics.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytic study was done on 77 type II diabetic patients randomly chosen in 2005. Their weight and height were measured then their self-reported nutrients intake during 24 hours was also recorded .Besides, the amount of food for three consecutive days and food frequency intake for each patient were determined and each case's nutrient intake was calculated through Food Processor software. Blood sugar, serum triglyceride, and cholesterol indices were measured after 12 hours fasting. The obtained data was statistically analyzed by means of SPSS software, using descriptive statistics and partial correlation coefficient at the significant level P≤0.05.
Results: The patients mean age was 53.79±14.22 years their body mass index (BMI) was 26.99±5.00 kg/m2. Mean concentration of blood sugar and serum triglyceride, serum triglyceride, and cholesterol were 198. 01±81.24, 258.45±146.43, 241.98±62.45 mg/dL, respectively. Among macronutrients, there was a significant relationship between fibers with blood sugar and serum triglyceride, between Mono-Unsaturated Fatty Acids(MUFA) with serum triglyceride ,and between Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) with blood sugar and serum triglyceride (P<0.05). Among micronutrient, only vitamin C had a significant relationship with blood sugar (P<0/05).
Conclusion: Regarding the important effect of nutrients including fibrous foods, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C on controlling blood sugar and lipid, diet therapy can be recommended as the first or essential treatment, together with therapeutic methods, in controlling blood sugar and lipid in type II diabetes.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Anemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in hemodialyzed patients. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the effects of ω3 fatty acid supplement on anemia and hematologic factors in hemodialysis patients.
Materials and Methods: The study was a double-blind randomized clinical trial on 34 hemodialysis patients. The patients in the ω3 fatty acid supplement group received 2080 mg ω3 fatty acid daily for 10 weeks, while the placebo group received placebo for the same period. At baseline and the end of 10th week of the study, blood hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, MCV, MCH, MCHC and serum CRP were measured. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using chi-square, t-test, paired t-test and ANOVA.
Results: The mean age and duration of dialysis were 50 ± 18 years and 23 ± 25 months in the ω3 fatty acid group and 50 ± 17 years and 28 ± 18 months in the placebo group, respectively. During this study, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in mean changes of blood hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, MCV, MCH, MCHC and serum CRP.
Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate that ω3 fatty acid supplement has no effect on hematologic factors and anemia in hemodialysis patient.
