Testing a low-calorie diet for partial fat loss diabetes
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a low-calorie (low energy) diet can improve diabetes control in adults with familial partial lipodystrophy. It likely helps by changing how your body handles blood sugar and fat use, but you must meet specific safety and eligibility checks.
