Summary

This study tests whether two low-calorie versions of the MIND-HK diet can improve blood sugar and heart health in adults with type 2 diabetes. 180 participants aged 40-70 will be split into three groups: one following a low-calorie diet, one a very low-calorie diet, and a control group. Over 12 weeks, they will attend nutrition sessions and use apps to track their progress.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Low-calorie MIND-HK diet and very low-calorie MIND-HK diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that structured low-calorie diets help manage blood sugar and reduce heart disease risk in type 2 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, 12-week trial with only 180 participants. Results may not apply to all people with diabetes, and sticking to the diet may be hard for some.
