Tested diet to help control glucose in early type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether carbohydrate or calorie restriction can help normalize blood sugar levels in people with relatively early type 2 diabetes. It may help those whose diabetes control is not yet fully under control but who do not have major recent heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes diagnosed less than 6 years ago
