Summary

This study looked at whether eating more protein (1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight daily, instead of the usual 0.8 grams) could help older adults with type 2 diabetes prevent muscle loss and improve muscle function. 25 participants were followed to measure changes in muscle mass, strength, and blood sugar control. The goal was to see if a higher protein intake could help manage both muscle health and diabetes progression.
