Abstract
Eating is not a simple act of feeding our body. Diet plays a pivotal role in health promotion and chronic disease prevention. According to DGA [1] more than 117 million of American adults have one or more preventable chronic diseases, many of which are related to poor quality eating patterns and physical inactivity. These include cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and poor bone health. The importance of diet mostly as prevention for all the disorders correlated with metabolism should be strongly highlighted in this day: in fact, this clinical case shows how it’s possible to decrease glycemia with diet in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Fat foods and fried foods play an unsuspected important role in Diabesity.

Publication History: Eating is not a simple act of feeding our body
Some country guidelines recommend that people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) limit their consumption of fats and cholesterol in general, which results in an unbalanced carbohydrate meal
In this case study, is show how combining both dietary strategies produces a strong effect on blood glucose, resulting in a “forced” reduction of exogenous insulin injection to avoid the problem of hypoglycemia
Summary
Publication History: Eating is not a simple act of feeding our body. Diet plays a pivotal role in health promotion and chronic disease prevention. According to DGA [1] more than 117 million of American adults have one or more preventable chronic diseases, many of which are related to poor quality eating patterns and physical inactivity These include cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and poor bone health. The positive effect of LCHF diets (low carb, high-fat diets) is well documented: LCHF diets are at least as effective as other dietary strategies for reducing body weight, improving glycaemic control and reducing both hyperinsulinemia and blood glucose (reduction of HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes and have unique positive effects on blood lipid concentrations and cardiovascular risk factors [2]. Foods rich in fats and cholesterol, like eggs, doesn’t show any negative effect on blood lipid level in T2D patients [3]. In order to check general body functions and glycosuria, the patient used the urine test Multistix 10 SG Siemens
