Brief Summary:
The primary aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a 12-week dietary intervention combined with the use of CGM in adults with T2D. The results of the pilot study will provide insights into recruitment, design, and the effectiveness of the intervention for the future long-term (12-month) PRECISE-DIET STUDY
Detailed Description:
In recent decades, there has been a significant rise in the development and use of glucose lowering drugs aimed at improving glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite medical advancements, more than one-third of the danish population with T2D have a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) exceeding the recommended thresholds. One limiting factor in supporting individuals achieve their glycaemic target may be driven by substantial postprandial increases in plasma glucose levels, which is influenced by the quantity and type of carbohydrates in meals, underscoring the critical role of dietary interventions as an integral component of T2D management.
Recent studies have demonstrated that the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), which allow individuals to track their glucose profiles continuously throughout the day, improves glycemic control in T2D patients. However, these studies often exclude dietary interventions, which could potentially yield greater improvements in blood glucose regulation.
Nutritional research in recent years has focused on dietary patterns such as low-fat diets, the paleo diet, and vegan diets. Nevertheless, these studies have not sufficiently addressed individualized dietary adjustments to mitigate postprandial glucose excursions, despite their substantial importance for glycemic control.
Several clinical studies have revealed significant inter-individual variations in glycemic responses to identical standardized meals, highlighting the necessity of a personalized approach to dietary recommendations, particularly with a focus on carbohydrate intake.
The primary aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a 12-week dietary intervention combined with the use of CGM in adults with T2D. The results of the pilot study will provide insights into recruitment, design, and the effectiveness of the intervention for the future long-term (12-month) PRECISE-DIET STUDY
