Our objective was to compare the effect on metabolic
parameters of a high protein to carbohydrate ratio weight
loss diet compared to a standard protein weight loss diet
in volunteers with type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of
CVD because of their albuminuria. We also wanted to
investigate the relationship between changes in CGMS
glucose values and markers of renal function, HbA1c,
serum lipids and blood pressure to determine if using
CGMS enhanced our understanding of the metabolic
changes.
