Summary
This study tested whether a personalized meal plan (Individualized Dietary Plan) is practical and helpful for adults with type 2 diabetes. 122 participants were randomly assigned to either the personalized diet or standard care. The study measured adherence, blood sugar (HbA1c), and cholesterol after 3 months to see if a larger study is feasible.
