Jenkins DJA, et al. - This trial was carried out in a hospital clinical research center and concluded in 2008 to evaluate the impact of replacing carbohydrate consumption with mixed nut consumption (as a source of unsaturated fat) on cardiovascular risk factors and HbA_1c in type 2 diabetes. Participants in the study were 117 men and postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes who were taking oral glucose-lowering agents and had a HbA_1c between 47.5 and 63.9 mmol/mol (6.5-8.0%) were involved. In individuals with type 2 diabetes, nut intake as a replacement for carbohydrate consumption improves glycemic control and lipid risk factors.
