Two moderate meals are very effective in controlling type-2 diabetes

The Dhaka Times Desk In a recent study, scientists say that for type 2 diabetes, it is good to eat only two moderate meals, breakfast and lunch. This information was obtained by researching 54 people divided into two different groups.

54 volunteers were found in Prague, Germany who agreed to cooperate for this study. Researchers divide them into two categories. Then one group of them was fed twice a day and the other group was fed six times a day. Researchers found in a six-month study that those who were given two meals a day lost more weight and had lower blood sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when our body cannot produce enough insulin hormone. This insulin regulates blood levels in the body. When blood sugar levels rise, various types of heart disease occur. These include everything from heart attack to stroke, nerve damage, vision loss and kidney disease. Worldwide, only 2.9 million people in the UK have diabetes, many of whom have type 2 diabetes. According to UK health policy, they are advised to eat three meals a day. The researchers divided the subjects into 27 groups per group. Most of them are between 30 and 70 years old and all of them have type 2 diabetes. It should be noted that 1700 calories are added to the body every day as a result of six days of food. Which causes high blood pressure in our body.

On average, the two-meal group ate breakfast between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM and lunch between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. As a result, after six months their physical image completely changed. On average, they lost 1.4 kg. The researchers said the volunteers were afraid that they might get hungry in the early afternoon, a problem they initially had but eventually got used to it. But the interesting thing is that these volunteers who ate six meals a day did not feel satisfied with the food as much as those who ate twice a day.

This research on food levels is expected to lead to new directions in the field of diabetes. This research shows that moderate food consumption can be a good way to guide the treatment of diseases. However, the researchers say, more research is needed to determine whether this dietary regimen works as well in the general population as it does in diabetics.
