Effect of Low-Calorie Diets on Remission of Type 2 Diabetes: A Feasibility Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Formula diet and Food-based diet for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been increasing rapidly in China. China currently has \~130 million diabetes cases, and over 90% are T2DM. T2DM is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, posing substantial clinical and public health challenges. Reversing T2DM with a significant amount of weight loss via consuming a low-calorie diet is possible, but no studies have been conducted to determine whether low-calorie diets will help achieve significant weight loss and diabetes remission among Chinese patients with T2DM. The investigators design a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a low-calorie diet intervention program on weight loss and diabetes remission in a Chinese population with T2DM.
