Abstract:

Diabetes Mellitus 2 is a multifactorial disease whose global and national dimensions require a multidisciplinary approach for its control, with nutrition being a fundamental part of this within a healthy lifestyle. The study’s objective was to evaluate the effect of amaranth as a functional food in a group of women with Diabetes Mellitus 2 (DM2) in Michoacán, Mexico over a year, previously with their informed consent. It was of a longitudinal, prospective, and intervention type. Among the comparative results of the beginning and end of the study, it is worth noting that the average blood glucose level decreased 29.86mg / d (118.9 / 89.04); there was an increase in high- density lipoprotein; moreover, the patients did not increase their body weight. The results suggest that amaranth as a food of habitual consumption represents an alternative of health and nutrition for the patient with DM2.
