Intervention studies of low caloric meals on blood glucose regulation
| Meal types of intervention | Subjects (country) | Duration of intervention | Results | Comments | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low-calorie diet | Overweight or obese postmenopausal women (Mexico) | 6 months | FPG: no change TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and TG: no change |
1,300∼1,400 kcal/d | Perichart-Perera et al. (2014) |
| Obese adult women (Korea) | 12 weeks | FPG and AUC glucose: decrease TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C: decrease TG: no change |
1,200 kcal/d | Lee et al. (2014a) | |
| Very low-calorie diet (less than 800 kcal/d) | Obese adults (partially T2DM) | 4 weeks | FPG and HbA1c: decrease TG, cholesterol: decrease |
680 kcal/d | Norén and Forssell (2014) |
| T2DM adults | 8 weeks | FPG and HbA1c: decrease TG, TC, and non-HDL-C: decrease HDL-C: no change |
624∼700 kcal/d HbA1c no changed in long-duration disease (>8 years) group |

T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; AUC glucose, area under the curve of glucose; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c.
