Nuts as a replacement for carbohydrates in the diabetic diet: a reanalysis of a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

In line with current advice, we assessed the effect 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. The data presented here are from a paper that was retracted at the authors' request ( https://doi.org/10.2337/dc16-rt02 ) owing to lack of adjustment for repeated measures in the same individual. Our aim, therefore, was to fix the error and add new complementary data of interest, including information on clotting factors and LDL particle size.

Methods

A total of 117 men and postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes who were taking oral glucose-lowering agents and with HbA_1c between 47.5 and 63.9 mmol/mol (6.5-8.0%) were randomised
