Summary

This 6-week parallel randomised prospective dietary intervention study with type 2 Diabetes investigates the nutrition influence of animal protein in comparison to plant protein on the glucose metabolism.

Detailed description

2x20 patients with Diabetes mellitus type 2 are randomise by a blind computer assist for an equal allocation in both groups (animal protein vs. plant protein). The food components for both groups are 40% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 30% protein. The carbohydrates are correspond with a high fiber content and a low blood sugar effectiveness of carbohydrates (glycemic index).
