Inclusion Criteria:
Type 2 diabetes; age 30-70 years; HbA1c between 6 and 11% (42-97 mmol/mol); BMI between 25 and 53 kg/m2; willingness to change dietary habits and follow a prescribed exercise programme.
Exclusion Criteria:
HbA1c 11% (> 97 mmol/mol); use of insulin; abuse of alcohol or drugs; pregnancy; lactation; current use of a vegetarian diet.
Research Purpose:
The aim of our study was to compare the effects of isocaloric, calorie-restricted vegetarian and conventional diabetic diets on insulin resistance, volume of visceral fat and plasma markers of oxidative stress after a 3-month dietary-intervention phase and to test whether the positive changes will be sustainable or even augmented after adding aerobic exercise training for an additional 3 months.
