Abstract: Diabetes is a very prevalent disease. Of the different types of diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus is the one that covers the highest percentage of patients. Furthermore, the trend is for cases to continue to increase in the coming years. This is largely due to poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. The first intervention after a diagnosis of DM2 is the modification of eating habits. The Mediterranean diet is the one with the most scientific evidence. Still, in recent years, other alternatives have emerged. This is the case of low fat and low carbohydrate diets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of low carbohydrate and low fat diets on energy metabolism in the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus through glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk factors Assess the impact of low carbohydrate diets and low diets in fats, in energy metabolism in the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus through glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk factors. Method. A bibliographic search of studies published in Medline and ProQuest is performed. Data on the variation of HbA1c, fasting basal glucose, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, blood pressure, weight, and serum albumin were extracted. Results. Five studies were included in the review: 4 had DBHC group and 4 DBG group. In comparison with the control group, statistically significant results were obtained in the reduction of HbA1c, in fasting basal glycemia, of triglycerides, LDL, HDL, blood pressure and weight. Conclusion. The low carbohydrate diet and the low fat diet have been shown to have an impact on energy metabolism through glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk factors. Comparatively between the two diets it appears that the low carbohydrate diet may be more effective in lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL.
