Diyabet ve Diyet İnflamatuar İndeksi/Dıabetes and Dıet Inflammatory Index

Diabetes Mellitus, commonly known as sugar disease, is an endocrine disease that results in an increase in blood glucose levels, and is affected by hereditary and environmental factors. Inflammation is the reaction of the organism against foreign and harmful factors. In this process, on the one hand, harmful factors are eliminated, and on the other hand, tissue repair is tried to be provided. There is a bidirectional relationship between inflammation and chronic diseases. Inflammation causes chronic diseases, while chronic diseases can also cause the development of inflammation. Although the main cause of insulin resistance is a defect in insulin secretion, it has recently been observed that inflammation is also one of the important factors affecting insulin resistance. Intra-abdominal adipose tissue in abdominal obesity, which is often observed in diabetic individuals, is an indicator of low levels of chronic inflammation. Dietary habits and dietary components have an effective role in inflammation. Some foods have an anti-inflammatory effect, while some foods have a pro-inflammatory effect. Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is an index developed to evaluate the effect of general dietary patterns of individuals on inflammation. The effects of nutrients and nutrient elements, serum anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory indicators, interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α), C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-1β are being studied. There are studies conducted on DII in various diseases such as diabetes, cancer, hypertension and obesity. In this review, it is aimed to examine the relationship between diabetes and DII.
