Background: Postprandial hypoglycemia is a risk after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
Objectives: We speculated that a carbohydrate-reduced, high-protein (CRHP) diet might reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and therefore compared the acute effects of a conventionally recommended (CR) diet and CRHP diet [55/30 energy percent (E%) carbohydrate and 15/30 E% protein, respectively] in RYGB patients.
Methods: Ten individuals (2 males, 8 females, mean ± SD age 47 ± 7 y; stable body mass index 31 ± 6 kg/m2; 6 ± 3 y post-RYGB) with recurrent postprandial hypoglycemia documented by plasma glucose (PG) ≤3.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated if replacing carbohydrates with protein and fat in the diet could reduce high blood sugar levels after meals in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
- Sixteen participants, mainly older males with well-managed diabetes, followed both a carbohydrate-reduced high-protein (CRHP) diet and a conventional diabetes (CD) diet over two days.
- Results showed that the CRHP diet significantly lowered post-meal glucose and insulin levels, increased glucagon and other hormones, and improved feelings of fullness compared to the CD diet.
We propose a novel approach to continuum modeling of the dynamics of crystal surfaces. Our model follows the evolution of an ensemble of step configurations, which are consistent with the macroscopic surface profile. Contrary to the usual approach where the continuum limit is achieved when typical surface features consist of many steps, our continuum limit is approached when the number of step configurations of the ensemble is very large.
