Abstract

Background: Diabetes health complications seen in everyday life are strongly related to consumption of high carbohydrate and fat foods and the overweight or the obesity.

Methods: To shift this equilibrium and to decrease the probability of health problems the opposite was advised; a low carbohydrate and a low-fat daily food plan.

Results: The food plan encountered a few environmental and individual hindering factors but the patients who finished the 12-months plan duration achieved significant improvements.

Conclusions: The prescribed meal plan was very useful to the poorly controlled type-2 diabetes mellitus patient however it needs further investigation to make it more practical with a wider applicability.
