Conversely, within non-diabetic populations, periods of IER (75 - 85 % ER on restricted days) do not typically affect fasting glucose levels 37, 41, 45, 48 or HbA1c 41, 48; results of which can often be replicated by short term CER studies.62 - 65These
findings are unsurprising given that frank hyperglycaemia within the T2DM diagnostic range is effectively a late - stage manifestation of IR, which along with compensatory increases insulin secretion, can precede the onset of T2DM by many years.66, 67 Findings from one large scale prospective cohort study, Whitehall II, reveal a sharp increase in the trajectory towards fasting hyperglycaemia which is only detectable three years prior to diagnosis with T2DM.67 Consequently, it can be argued that changes in circulating insulin concentrations, fasting (hepatic) insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake / clearance are more sensitive markers of deteriorating glucose control than fasting glycaemia in non - diabetics

«A recent meta - analysis of
prospective epidemiologic
studies found no evidence that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease,» said Fallon Morell
So, the reason the largest
prospective study on diet and cancer ever
found that the incidence of all cancers combined was lower among vegetarians than among meat - eaters may be because they eat less animal protein.
Indeed, five separate
prospective trials since the 1960s have failed to
find any relationship between dietary fat and cardiovascular disease, including the Puerto Rico Heart Health Program and the Western Electric
Study.
Indeed, recent
prospective cohort
studies have not supported any significant association between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular risk Instead, saturated fat has been
found to be protective.»
The limited reports of complications arising from use of the modified Atkins diet (MAD) or low glycaemic index treatment suggest fewer and less serious adverse events when these more liberal modified diets are used (32, 33, 34, 35), although a

studies found 13 % of 92 children and adults discontinued the diet due to intolerance or side effects (36).
