TI  - Mate tea (Ilex paraguariensis) improves glycemic and lipid profiles of type 2 
      diabetes and pre-diabetes individuals: a pilot study.
PG  - 320-32
AB  - OBJECTIVES: Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) infusions have been shown to reduce 
      plasma glucose in animals and serum lipids in humans. The aim of this study was 
      to evaluate the effects of roasted mate tea consumption, with or without dietary 
      counseling, on the glycemic and lipid profiles of individuals with type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or pre-diabetes. METHODS: Twenty-nine T2DM and 29 
      pre-diabetes subjects were divided into 3 groups: mate tea, dietary intervention, 
      and mate tea and dietary intervention. Individuals drank 330 mL of roasted mate 
      tea 3 times a day and/or received nutritional counseling over 60 days. Blood 
      samples were collected and food intake was assessed at baseline and after 20, 40, 
      and 60 days of treatments. RESULTS: Mate tea consumption decreased significantly 
      the levels of fasting glucose (25.0 mg/dL), glycated hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) 
      (0.85%), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (13.5 mg/dL) of T2DM 
      subjects (p < 0.05); however, it did not change the intake of total energy, 
      protein, carbohydrate, cholesterol, and fiber. In pre-diabetes individuals, mate 
      tea consumption combined with nutritional counseling diminished significantly the 
      levels of LDL-c (11 mg/dL), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) 
      (21.5 mg/dL), and triglycerides (53.0 mg/dL) (p < 0.05). Individuals of this 
      group decreased significantly their consumption of total fat (14%), cholesterol 
      (28%), and saturated (23.8%) and monounsaturated (28.0%) fatty acids, and 
      increased their fiber intake by 35% (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Mate tea consumption 
      improved the glycemic control and lipid profile of T2DM subjects, and mate tea 
      consumption combined with nutritional intervention was highly effective in 
      decreasing serum lipid parameters of pre-diabetes individuals, which may reduce 
      their risk of developing coronary disease.
