A vegetarian diet has a dual role in diabetes management — when used properly, it offers significant benefits. It is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which act as natural aids in blood glucose control.Dietary fiber slows glucose absorption, preventing sharp postprandial blood glucose spikes, much like a buffer for glucose […]

TLGS Study Finds Some Milk-Derived Peptides May Slightly Increase Diabetes Risk
In the fast‑paced modern life, chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have quietly become “invisible killers” threatening our health. Faced with such a severe situation, in addition to weight control, regular exercise, and dietary intervention, the scientific community is turning its attention to a potential intervention strategy—dietary regulation, […]
What Are Milk-Derived Bioactive Peptides?
You may be unfamiliar with the term “peptide,” but it is actually very close to our daily lives. Simply put, a peptide is a small protein fragment composed of two or more linked amino acids. When we consume dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, their proteins (e.g., casein and whey protein) are broken […]
How Do High-Fat and High-Sugar Diets Jointly Accelerate the Onset of T2DM?
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous metabolic syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia, mainly including type 1 diabetes (T1DM), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Among them, type 2 diabetes (T2DM) accounts for 96% of all cases. Its core features are non-autoimmune progressive impairment of pancreatic β-cell function, often accompanied by insulin resistance […]
Possible Side Effects of the Ketogenic Diet (KD)
Potential side effects of the ketogenic diet (KD) mainly occur during the initial period when the body adapts to a ketogenic metabolic state. According to the literature, these reactions typically appear within the first 2–3 days of starting KD, most symptoms gradually resolve within 2–4 weeks, and they rarely become severe enough to require discontinuation […]
Situations Requiring Extra Caution with the Ketogenic Diet (KD)
Although certain clinical conditions are not absolute contraindications, the application of the ketogenic diet (KD) must be managed with individualized, carefully planned strategies. These include assessing potential risks and interactions, close follow‑up, intensive clinical monitoring, adjusting or discontinuing medications when necessary, rationally designing dietary structure, and providing targeted nutritional supplements.In these scenarios, KD may either […]
Risks of the Ketogenic Diet (KD) in Certain Situations
Relative contraindications are inferred from partial research evidence and indirect mechanisms, suggesting that the ketogenic diet (KD) may pose risks in certain situations. These include acute pancreatitis, acute liver failure, advanced chronic kidney disease, use during propofol administration, and familial hypercholesterolemia. Unlike absolute contraindications, KD may still offer potential benefits for some individuals under these […]
The Ketogenic Diet Is Not for Everyone
The ketogenic diet (KD) has shown significant potential in the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases. It is applicable not only to some neurological disorders but also exerts remarkable effects on multiple metabolic diseases, including obesity, overweight, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). It is also gaining recognition […]
Can People with Diabetes Eat Meat?
People with diabetes can eat meat, as they should focus on a balanced diet. Meat is rich in protein and other nutrients essential for the human body. However, it is important to choose low‑fat, high‑protein meats, control portion sizes, and avoid high‑fat and processed meats.Meat should be reasonably paired with vegetables and whole grains, and […]
Diabetics Should Be Cautious with Fried Foods
Fried foods are generally not recommended for people with diabetes, but occasional small amounts have little impact on blood glucose.Fried foods are usually high in fat and calories, which can easily cause blood glucose fluctuations and weight gain.If blood glucose is well-controlled, occasional small portions of fried foods usually do not have a significant effect.Choose […]
