Background and aim: Type 2 diabetes is one of the global epidemic disorders, which causes many side effects on the body. Fructose is a lipogenic monosaccharide. Recent studies have reported the adverse effects of this carbohydrate on diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a low-fructose diet on the metabolic alterations in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This study was a randomized, single-blind clinical trial on 50 patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants randomly allocated to two groups, to receive either diabetic-diet or diabetic-diet with low-fructose for 8-weeks. Anthropometric measurements, systolic blood pressure (SBP), Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and metabolic factors were assessed at baseline and the end of the trial. Results: At the end of trial, reduction in body weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure were not significant except for DBP (P = 0.013). Statistical analysis showed that low-fructose diet compared to control group significantly declined fasting blood glucose (FBG), Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P = 0.015, P = 0.001, P=<0.0001, P= <0.0001 and P= <0.0001 respectively). Conclusion: Our results showed that eight weeks of low-fructose diet results in a significant improvement in FBG, HbA1c, TG, HDL-C and hs-CRP in patients with type 2 diabetes.
