Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week program of very-low-calorie diet or high-intensity exercise can improve blood sugar control in adults aged 40-70 who are newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and overweight. Participants are randomly assigned to diet, exercise, or standard education. The goal is to see if these intensive lifestyle changes are more effective than usual care for managing diabetes.
