PDM: Prediabetes (2013)

  • Assessment
    In individuals with prediabetes, what is the impact of whole or refined grains, independent of weight loss, on glycemic-related outcomes (such as fasting blood glucose, random blood glucose, two-hour post-prandial blood glucose, A1C)?
  • Intervention
    In individuals with prediabetes, what is the impact of whole or refined grains, independent of weight loss, on lipid outcomes (TG, HDL)?
    • Conclusion

      There were no studies identified to evaluate the impact of whole or refined grains, independent of weight loss, on lipid outcomes in individuals with prediabetes.

      Intervention studies are needed to ascertain the effect of whole or refined grains on lipid outcomes in individuals with prediabetes.
