Abstract
It has been proposed that a higher protein intake in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus may aid in weight loss, better glycemic control, and a favorable blood lipid profile. It is also suggested that protein may contribute to greater satiety, and hence better compliance to a healthy dietary pattern. This chapter will review the evidence for each of these hypotheses, and consider some of the safety aspects commonly raised in conjunction with higher protein diets.
