Summary

This study will investigate the impact of dietary protein intake on progressive muscle loss and functionality (sarcopenia) in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sarcopenia is known to have a bidirectional interaction with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore in order to address this bidirectional complication we suggest that an increased intake of dietary protein at 1.5 gr/kg/day (current official recommendation is 0.8 gr/kg/day) could help to treat the sarcopenia, which in turn will help to ameliorate the type 2 diabetes mellitus progression.
