Determination of membrane lipid differences in insulin resistant diabetes mellitus type 2 in whites and blacks
NUTRITION, 22(11-12), 1096–1102.
author keywords: diabetes; membrane lipids; insulin resistance; red blood cell deformability; fatty acids; membrane fluidity
MeSH headings : Adult; Black People; Blood Glucose / metabolism; Cholesterol / blood; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / blood; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / metabolism; Erythrocyte Membrane / chemistry; Erythrocyte Membrane / metabolism; Erythrocytes / metabolism; Fatty Acids / analysis; Fatty Acids, Unsaturated / analysis; Female; Humans; Insulin / blood; Insulin Resistance; Lipids / blood; Male; Membrane Lipids / analysis; Membrane Lipids / blood; Membrane Lipids / chemistry; Middle Aged; White People
topics (OpenAlex): Diabetes, Cardiovascular Risks, and Lipoproteins; Diabetes Management and Research; Diabetes and associated disorders
TL;DR:
The combination of increased saturated/polyunsaturated fatty acids, increased saturated nature, and increased cholesterol/phospholipid can contribute to decreased membrane fluidity, resulting in insulin resistance, which may be one of the reasons for a higher incidence of diabetes among blacks.

2006 journal article
Muscadine grape products intake, diet and blood constituents of nondiabetic and type 2 diabetic subjects
NUTRITION, 22(11-12), 1137–1145.
author keywords: type 2 diabetes; antioxidants; muscadine; wine; juice; dealcoholized wine
MeSH headings : Antioxidants / metabolism; Beverages; Blood Glucose / metabolism; Cardiovascular Diseases / diet therapy; Cardiovascular Diseases / metabolism; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / blood; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / diet therapy; Diet; Erythrocyte Membrane / chemistry; Ethanol / administration & dosage; Fatty Acids / analysis; Female; Flavonoids / administration & dosage; Flavonoids / metabolism; Glycated Hemoglobin / metabolism; Humans; Inflammation / diet therapy; Inflammation / metabolism; Insulin / blood; Lipid Metabolism / drug effects; Liver / enzymology; Male; Middle Aged; Phenols / administration & dosage; Phenols / metabolism; Polyphenols; Vitis / chemistry; Wine
topics (OpenAlex): Diet, Metabolism, and Disease; Natural Antidiabetic Agents Studies; Biochemical effects in animals
TL;DR:
Diabetics given MW and Dz-W showed lower levels of blood glucose, insulin, and glycated hemoglobin, indicating better glycemic control, and improved hepatic conditions were noted by decreases in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotsferase among subjects with T2D given MW, indicatingBetter insulin sensitivity and decreased tendency toward impaired liver function.

2003 journal article
Can anthropometric measurements and diet analysis serve as useful tools to determine risk factors for insulin-resistant diabetes type 2 among white and black Americans?
NUTRITION, 19(7-8), 584–588.
author keywords: insulin resistance; diabetes; anthropometric measurements; ethnicity; diet analysis
MeSH headings : Abdomen; Adipose Tissue; Adult; Anthropometry; Black People; Body Composition; Body Constitution; Body Mass Index; Diabetes Mellitus / epidemiology; Diabetes Mellitus / ethnology; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / epidemiology; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / ethnology; Feeding Behavior; Female; Humans; Insulin Resistance / physiology; Male; Middle Aged; Obesity; Risk Factors; White People
topics (OpenAlex): Diet and metabolism studies; Nutritional Studies and Diet; Obesity, Physical Activity, Diet
TL;DR:
Diet analysis when used in conjunction with anthropometric measurements can serve as a useful tool to detect whether metabolic alterations are related to dietary habits, and researchers should consider anatomic differences among different racial groups as covariables.

2003 journal article
Fatty acids, diet, and body indices of type II diabetic American whites and blacks and Ghanaians
NUTRITION, 19(9), 722–726.
author keywords: type II diabetes; lipids; lipoproteins; triacylglycerols and cholesterol
MeSH headings : Adult; Aged; Black People; Body Mass Index; Cholesterol / blood; Cross-Cultural Comparison; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / blood; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / ethnology; Diet; Dietary Carbohydrates / administration & dosage; Dietary Carbohydrates / metabolism; Energy Metabolism / physiology; Fatty Acids / blood; Female; Ghana; Humans; Lipoproteins / blood; Male; Middle Aged; North Carolina; Pilot Projects; Triglycerides / blood; White People
topics (OpenAlex): Diet and metabolism studies; Nutritional Studies and Diet; Fatty Acid Research and Health
TL;DR:
The data showed a higher metabolism of carbohydrate for energy in the Ghanaian group than in the other groups, implying that cultural factors may contribute more than ethnic origin to the etiology of diabetes.
