Effects of wine on blood pressure, glucose parameters, and lipid profile in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Previous studies have produced conflicting results about the effects of wine intake on glucose parameters and the risk of cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A study investigated further the association between wine digestion and these outcomes in T2DM patients.
Asearchof PubMed, Embase, and Scopusdatabases (up to November 2018) was performed for randomized interventional trials which evaluated the effect of wine on blood pressure (BP), glucose parameters and lipid profiles in T2DM patients.
A total of 9 randomized interventional studies were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, significant association were found between wine intake and diastolic BP (weighted mean difference [WMD] = 0.10) and total cholesterol (WMD=0.16), whereas
no noticeable differences in glucose parameters, systolic BP, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were identified between wine and controls groups.
This meta-analysis revealed that moderate wine consumption among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients could reduce the level of diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol, but not glucose parameters and other cardiovascular risk factors. Source: Effects of wine on blood pressure, glucose
