Nutritional strategies for intervention of diabetes and improvement of (3-cell function

Diabetes mellitus, especially Type 2 diabetes (T2D), is caused by multiple factors includ-ing genetics, diets, and lifestyles. Diabetes is a chronic condition and is among the top 10 causes of death globally. Nutritional intervention is one of the most important and effective strategies for T2D management. It is well known that most of intervention strategies can lower blood glucose level and improve insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. However, the regulation of pancreatic (3 cells by dietary intervention is not well characterized. In this review, we summarized some of the commonly used nutritional methods for diabetes intervention. We then discussed the effects and the underlying mechanisms of nutritional intervention in improving the cell mass and function of pancreatic islet (3 cells. With emerging interven-tion strategies and in-depth investigation, we are expecting to have a better understanding about the effectiveness of dietary interventions in ameliorating T2D in the future.

Automated summary

Diabetes mellitus, especially Type 2 diabetes, is a chronic disease caused by various factors. Nutritional intervention is a crucial strategy for managing Type 2 diabetes, although the regulation of pancreatic β cells by dietary intervention is not well understood. This review summarizes common nutritional methods for diabetes intervention and discusses their effects on improving the mass and function of pancreatic islet β cells. With advancing intervention strategies and research, a better understanding of the effectiveness of dietary interventions in ameliorating Type 2 diabetes is anticipated in the future.
