    Abstract:
    In order to investigate the effect of high carbohydrate/low fat diet on glucose tolerance and on lipid profiles, we performed a 4-week crossover study. Japanese subjects (30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 15 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and 8 subjects with normal glucose tolerance) were allocated either 55% standard carbohydrate/30% fat (sc) or 70% high carbohydrate/15% low fat (hc) diet for four weeks, and evaluated by OGTT and various parameters. Then, the diet was crossed over to another diet, and identical parameters were re-evaluated after four weeks. Area under the glucose concentration-time curve (AUG) or triglyceride did not show significant changes between the two diets. HDL-Cholesterol and body mass index decreased significantly by hc diet. Free fatty acids and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index showed a tendency to be decreased by hc diet. AUG hc/sc ratio was inversely correlated with AUG or free fatty acids on standard carbohydrate diet. In conclusion, the present 4-week high carbohydrate/low fat diet may be useful to reduce body weight and insulin resistance. The 4-week high carbohydrate/low fat diet did not affect glucose tolerance as a whole. Although the 4-week high carbohydrate/low fat diet decreased HDL-Chol, it did not increase triglyceride.
