The effect of a low carbohydrate diet on the compensation of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Sedlářová, Lenka ; Sucharda, Petr (advisor) ; Sadílková, Aneta (referee)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance and several secondary complications. The prevalence of patients is constantly increasing, and thus the effort to improve the quality of therapy, new findings, and procedures capable of being applied in clinical practice are sought. Patients live with the disease for a long time, and the purpose of treatment is to improve the quality of life of diabetics and delay the onset of associated health complications. A combination of regimen measures is essential for successful treatment. Dietary measures in the form of a low-carbohydrate diet are still a popular choice of dietary options among diabetics. The aim of the practical part of the work was to prove the positive effect of a low- carbohydrate diet on T2D compensation. The primary objective was to demonstrate a significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients who eat or have eaten according to the principles of a low-carbohydrate diet for at least 12 months. Secondary objectives were set as follows: reduction of relative weight (BMI), reduction of pharmacotherapy and/or reduction of daily doses of antidiabetic drugs, reduction of fasting blood glucose and improvement of the lipid spectrum. The research group included patients from the...

Low-carbohydrate diet in diabetes mellitus type 1 treatment
Němečková, Monika ; Krejčí, Hana (advisor) ; Hásková, Aneta (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the influence of a low-carbohydrate diet on the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. It is an autoimmune disease for which it is necessary for patients to administer insulin. The selection of suitable sports activities, good health and mental condition and, above all, the adjustment of eating habits also contribute to the successful compensation of diabetes. This work demonstrates a low-carbohydrate diet as one of the possibilities diabetics can eat. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part briefly describes the disease and presents the recommended and a low- carbohydrate diet. The following section also addresses physical activity. It describes the issues of sports for people with diabetes who are on a regular diet, as well as on low-carbohydrate diet. The practical part shows the results of glucose sensors (Free Style Libre, Dexcom G6 and Medtronic), which continuously measure blood sugar levels. In the practical part, eight respondents with type 1 diabetes, who switched the recommended diet for a low-carbohydrate diet, were surveyed in the form of a questionnaire. The purpose of the questionnaire was to assess the effects of switching to a low- carbohydrate diet on: the compensation of diabetes; the frequency of...

Low carb diet for diabetics with type 1 diabetes
Němečková, Monika ; Krejčí, Hana (advisor) ; Hásková, Aneta (referee)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is eating habits of type 1 diabetes patients. Diabetes mellitus type 1 is an autoimmune disease which can be improved vastly by improving dietary habits, mental health and regular sport activities. This thesis focuses principally on low- carbohydrate diet and how it compares to the traditionally recommended diet for the patients. The aim is to determine which of the two above diets is more beneficial for the patients with type 1 diabetes. The paper is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. Theoretical part briefly describes the disease, the advantages and disadvantages of the traditionally recommended diet for type 1 diabetes patients, in their daily life and during performing sport activities. Following is the description of the low- carbohydrate diet and its advantages and disadvantages. Practical part presents a compilation of data collected via anonymous questionnaire. The questionnaire was filled in by diabetes type 1 patients following the traditional and low- carbohydrate diets. Included in the data is the record of continuous measurements of glucose by Dexcom G5 and Enlite sensors. The aim of the practical part was to discover how the low-carbohydrate diet is effecting the quality of lives of diabetics, whether helps to reduce the number if...
