The rate of prediabetes in people living with HIV (PLWH) is 2-3 times higher than in the general population. Nutrition interventions have been effective in lowering diabetes risk in people with prediabetes in the general population, but this has not yet been shown in PLWH. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a 6-month randomized, controlled nutrition intervention for prediabetic PLWH. Participants (N=38) were randomized into the intervention group (n=20) or the control group (n=18). Inclusion criteria were being HIV+, prediabetic defined by the American Diabetic Association standards, 18 years of age and older, controlled HIV viral load, and not using glucose altering medications. Participants randomized into the intervention group met once a month for 1 hour to receive individualized medical nutrition therapy, nutrition counseling and nutrition education; participants in the control group received educational material at baseline. Outcome variables were collected for all participants at baseline and end of the study between 2017-2018 and analyzed 2018-2019. We found significant improvements in fasting blood glucose (p=0.03), body mass index (p=0.03) and oxidative stress (p=0.04) in the intervention group when comparing their 6-month values to those at baseline; while differences between baseline and end of the intervention were not observed in the control group, with significance set at p<0.05. The results from this intervention support the notion that a nutrition intervention is effective in lowering diabetes risk by significantly lowering fasting blood glucose, body mass index and oxidative stress in PLWH who are prediabetics, who are at greater risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease than the general population.3download.link Best YouTube to MP3 converter.
