The effect of P:S ratio on glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in NIDDM /

The independent effect of a high polyunsaturated:saturated fat (P:S) diet on glycemic control in humans has been poorly studied. We propose that a P:S $>$ 1.0 vs P:S 1.0 vs. P:S 1.0. HDL and IGFl were significantly lower with the P:S $>$ 1.0. Si was unaffected by the P:S difference, however, trends towards decreased Sg and increased insulin secretion were seen with P:S $>$ 1.0. The small sample size limits the making of firm conclusions, however, it suggests that glycemic control may be improved through increased insulin secretion a result of an increase in P:S.
