The Claim
A four-week low-dAGE diet has no effect on pancreatic beta-cell function in young adults with prediabetes, as evidenced by no change in disposition index, despite potential improvements in insulin sensitivity without increased insulin secretion.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In young adults with prediabetes, a four-week low-dAGE diet does not change pancreatic beta-cell function, as measured by the disposition index, even if insulin sensitivity improves.
See the scientific wording
A four-week low-dAGE diet does not improve pancreatic beta-cell function in young adults with prediabetes, as measured by unchanged disposition index, indicating that dAGE restriction may improve insulin sensitivity without enhancing insulin secretion.
Eating less food cooked at high temperatures lowers harmful compounds in the blood, which reduces swelling in the liver. This lets the liver respond better to insulin, so it takes up more sugar and makes less of it. Because the liver now handles blood sugar better, the pancreas doesn't need to pump out as much insulin. The pancreas doesn't make more insulin, and its ability to respond to sugar stays the same.
What the research says
1 studyEating less food cooked at high temps for four weeks didn’t help the pancreas make more insulin in young people with prediabetes, but it did help their bodies use insulin better—so the benefit comes from improved insulin efficiency, not more insulin production.
