  • Title: [Introduction of sucrose in the diet plan of persons with type 1 diabetes: its influence in the glycemic control].
    Author: Costa PC, Franco LJ.
    Journal: Arq Bras Endocrinol Metabol; 2005 Jun; 49(3):403-9. PubMed ID: 16543995.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: To evaluate the influence of sucrose intake in the glycemic control, ten adolescents with type 1 diabetes were followed during eight months. Initially, they received personalized orientation on diet, self monitoring blood glucose and insulin dose adjustment; after four months, all patients introduced sucrose in their afternoon meals, through the method of carbohydrate counting. Total cholesterol and triglycerides levels were measured in the beginning and in the final of the study. Hemoglobin A1C levels were measured in the beginning, after four months without and after four months with intake of foods with sucrose. All patients showed adequate pubertal development and growth; two had overweight and the others were eutrophic. After four months of follow up, the frequency of self monitoring blood glucose was reduced (p< 0.001). Total cholesterol and triglycerides values were in the normal range and A1C values decreased during the observed period (p= 0.027). CONCLUSION: The consumption of foods with sucrose, using the technique of carbohydrate counting, did not affect the metabolic control of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
