Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Nutritional and Dietary Approaches to Diabetes”, will explore the impact of dietary modifications for the prevention and management of diabetes mellitus and the effect of nutrition and lifestyle on the disease progression and its complications. The aim of this Special Issue is to illuminate the role of diet and nutrition, including the factors of adherence, food, and nutrients’ role in diabetes mellitus, intervention strategies, dietary patterns, and lifestyle modifications in the overall course of metabolic alterations in diabetes mellitus.

Through this Special Issue, we hope to provide health care professionals and scientists with updated information on new diet-related approaches and their effect on diabetes with supporting evidence.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of orange juice (OJ) supplemented with vitamin D3 (2000 IU) and probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, 108 cfu/mL) on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults following a Westernized-type diet. Fifty-three high-risk [...] Read more.
This study examined the effects of orange juice (OJ) supplemented with vitamin D3 (2000 IU) and probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, 108 cfu/mL) on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults following a Westernized-type diet. Fifty-three high-risk individuals were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Over 8 weeks, one group consumed a vitamin D3 and probiotic-enriched OJ and the other regular OJ (control). Diets remained unchanged and were documented through food diaries. Measures of metabolic and inflammatory markers and blood pressure were measured at the start and end of the study. Post-intervention, the enriched OJ group showed the following significant metabolic improvements (without changes in triglycerides, inflammation, or central blood pressure): reduced fasting insulin, peripheral blood pressure, body weight (−1.4 kg 95% CI: −2.4, −0.4), energy (−270 kcal 95% CI: −553.2, −13.7), macronutrient (dietary fat −238 kcal 95% CI: −11.9, −1.0; carbohydrates −155 kcal 95% CI: −282.4, −27.3; sugars −16.1 g 95% CI: −11.9, −1.0) intake, and better lipid profiles (total cholesterol −10.3 mg/dL 95% CI: −21.4, 0.9; LDL-C −7 mg/dL 95% CI: −13.5, −0.5). The enriched OJ led to weight loss, less energy/macronutrient consumption, improved lipid profiles, and increased insulin sensitivity after 8 weeks in those following a Westernized diet, thus indicating potential benefits for cardiometabolic risk. This study was a part of FunJuice-T2EDK-01922, which was funded by the EU Regional Development Fund and Greek National Resources. Full article
