Comparison of the effect of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet and American Diabetes Association nutrition guidelines on lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes: A comparative clinical trial.

Aim: The present study aimed to compare the effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines on the lipid profiles of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: In a 12-week clinical trial, 80 patients with type 2 diabetes aged 18-65 years were randomly allocated into the case (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. The case group received the DASH diet and the control group consumed a dietary pattern in accordance with the ADA guidelines.

Investigating the effect of DASH diet on blood pressure of patients with type 2 diabetes and prehypertension: Randomized clinical trial.

Background And Objectives: Prehypertension in people with type 2 diabetes is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and lower extremity damages compared to people with normal blood pressure. On the other hand, limited studies have conducted to investigate the effect of DASH diet on blood pressure and prehypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of DASH diet on blood pressure and prehypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes.
