Structured Summary:
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a high dietary fiber cereal meal intervention significantly improved liver fibrosis and glycemic control compared to the control group with a lower dietary fiber intake, though it was associated with no significant change in BMI, potentially due to increased caloric intake from the fiber.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). |
| Intervention | High dietary fiber cereal meal intervention, with 24g daily fiber intake. |
| Comparison | Control group with lower dietary fiber intake (<10g daily). |
| Outcome | High dietary fiber intake significantly improved liver fibrosis and glycemic control, with a more pronounced effect in the 24g dietary fiber group. However, no statistically significant change in BMI was observed, possibly due to increased caloric intake from the additional fiber. |
