Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (DMT2) constitutes approximately 90% of all diabetes cases worldwide and its main feature is chronic hyperglycaemia, which may lead to endothelium dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, microangiopathy, nephropathy, retinopathy and strokes. Therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes, despite the control of glycaemia, should encompass surveillance of lipid profile, blood pressure and body mass as factors increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to indicate the association of the consumption of nuts with lower risk of DMT2 and its complication prevention. It was established that the nuts have a positive impact on postprandial glycaemia decrease, insulin sensitivity improvement, ideal body mass maintenance (or its reduction among overweight people) and blood pressure control. As has been shown, implementation of nuts into DMT2 patients’ diet may reinforce the efficacy of the treatment outcomes.
