This program promotes weight loss and reduced A1C in adults with type 2 diabetes, suggesting a low-calorie diet and digital support can enhance outcomes.
This article reports on the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week program, including a low-calorie diet using a diabetes-specific nutritional formula meal replacement, a digitally enabled self-management app, and coaching, on measurable outcomes of weight, BMI, A1C levels, and blood pressure in adults with type 2 diabetes and excess body weight. Participation in the program reduced body weight by a mean 11 ± 6.5 kg, BMI by 3.7 ± 2.2 kg/m2, A1C by 1%, systolic blood pressure by 4.5 ± 16.1 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure by 5.8 ± 16.9 mmHg (all P < 0.01).
