Abstract
Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of obesity and diabetes. Excessive feeding induces accumulation of adipose tissue and increased oxidative stress which lead to a state of low grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate energy balance and macronutrient contribution to energy levels of CRP among patients with type 2 diabetes. the study included 198 participants from both genders diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Anthropometric measurements of the patients (height, weight, waist circumference, body fat and truncal fat percent) were measured. Patients芒�?�? energy intake and percentages of macronutrient contribution to energy were estimated based on a validated FFQ. Levels of HbA1c and CRP were also measured. Results showed that over-consumption of calories indicated by positive energy balance was associated with increased waist circumference and truncal fat percent (p<0.05). Total energy intake, percent energy from fat (p=0.044), percent energy from proteins (p=0.03), but not percent energy from carbohydrates (p=0.12) were also correlated with higher hs-CRP levels among poorly controlled patients. In conclusion, over-consumption of calories is associated with elevations in hs-CRP. Increased energy intake and increased percentages of energy from fat and protein are associated with elevated hs-CRP among patients with poor glycemic control.Biography
