Prospective cohort study reveals diet therapy improves blood pressure and body composition in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Key Points
Diet therapy led to significant improvements in body composition and glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes, indicating its potential effectiveness.
Participants in the intervention group showed a reduction in BMI from 27.8 kg/m2 to 26.9 kg/m2 and improved fasting blood glucose levels from 8.8 mmol/L to 6.7 mmol/L.
The study utilized a prospective observational cohort design to compare outcomes between a diet therapy group and a standard treatment group over three months.
Findings suggest that incorporating diet therapy may serve as an effective non-pharmacological approach for managing type 2 diabetes.
