BIG SANDY, Mont., Nov. 01, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- According to the Mayo Clinic, a diabetes diet simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes.

Studies suggest that a Mediterranean diet, already known for its health benefits including lowering risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, as well as helping to ?ght certain type of cancers, is also helpful at preventing diabetes.

With the support of scientific evidence, many people who have adopted the diet also achieved weight management goals and became inspired to adhere to a dietary pattern that assures mid-and-long term health benefits overall.

Ancient grains like KAMUT® khorasan wheat, especially as a whole grain, can play an important role in a Mediterranean style diet.

A study investigating effects of a KAMUT® wheat based diet in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), "A Khorasan Wheat-Based Replacement Diet Improves Risk Profile of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM): A Randomized Crossover Trial", was conducted by the University of Florence in collaboration with the Careggi University Hospital of Florence of Nutrition in 2016. Results of this study indicated that despite ongoing traditional medicinal therapies with all participants, a positive impact of consuming KAMUT® khorasan wheat products was observed on blood insulin, glucose, and insulin resistance. In addition, there was a significant decrease in risk factors of T2DM patient vascular complications such as total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, inflammation indicating cytokines, and a significant increase of antioxidant effects.

The full results of this study and other studies are available at https://www.kamut.com/en/health/research.

The Mediterranean diet is based in the consumption of olive oil, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains, as well as limited dairy products, fish in abundance and red meat in moderation. Based on this study, incorporating KAMUT® wheat into a regular-diet can provide beneficial effects for people with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes is one of the largest global health emergencies of the 21st century. With the continuation of research, and with such promising results from studies with KAMUT® wheat, there's hope for future management of this condition.
