Diabetes Nutrition Algorithms - Sugars: Galactose- and Fiber-induced Metabolic Improvement in the Dietetic Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (DiNA-S DiNA-F)

June 23, 2020 updated by: Prof. Dr. med. Andreas F. H. Pfeiffer, German Institute of Human Nutrition

In animal models and retrospective studies, certain food components such as sugars and fiber have been detected as potential agents to influence development and progress of type 2 diabetes.

The DiNA study prospectively investigates, if non-soluble non-fermentable fibers (vs. soluble ones) and galactose (vs. palatinose) are capable to improvement metabolic parameters in patients with long-term type 2 diabetes and intensive insulin treatment.
