AB  - Just as the type and duration of physical activity can have variable effects on 
      the glucose levels and other cardiometabolic parameters among patients with type 
      2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so can the types of foods have variable effects as 
      well. This 12-week randomized study of 51 study participants evaluated the impact 
      of routine consumption of dark raisins versus alternative processed snacks on 
      glucose levels and other cardiovascular risk factors among patients with type 
      T2DM. In this study, compared to alternative processed snacks, those who consumed 
      raisins had a significant 23% reduction in postprandial glucose levels (P = 
      0.024). Also compared to snacks, those who consumed raisins had a 19% reduction 
      in fasting glucose and 0.12% reduction in hemoglobin A1c, although these latter 
      findings did not achieve statistical significance. Regarding blood pressure, 
      compared to alternative processed snacks, those who consumed raisins had a 
      significant 8.7 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure (P = 0.035) (7.5% [P = 
      0.031]) but did not experience a significant reduction in diastolic blood 
      pressure. Compared to alternative processed snacks, those who consumed raisins 
      did not have a significant improvement in body weight, body mass index, waist 
      circumference, fasting insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin 
      resistance, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density 
      lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), triglyceride, or non-HDL cholesterol levels. 
      Overall, these data support raisins as a healthy alternative compare to processed 
      snacks in patients with T2DM.
