Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of date consumption on hedonic hunger and appetite hormones in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does date consumption reduce hedonic hunger in individuals with type 2 diabetes?
  • Does persimmon consumption change Ghrelin, GLP-1 and GIP concentrations in individuals with Type 2 diabetes?
  • Does persimmon consumption reduce HOMA-IR and HbA1c values in individuals with Type 2 diabetes?
  • Does consumption of persimmon reduce LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in individuals with type 2 diabetes? To see the effects of date consumption on hedonic hunger and appetite hormones, the researchers will compare individuals with type 2 diabetes who consume 3 dates daily with individuals with type 2 diabetes who do not. Participants:
  • Individuals in the intervention group will consume 3 (25 g) Baghdad dates (15 g CHO) daily as part of the breakfast meal, while individuals in the control group will not consume dates.
  • Three interviews will be conducted with patients.
  • A record of blood findings and questionnaires will be kept during these interviews.
