Summary:
In Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), low-calorie diet interventions (LCFD and LCRFD) significantly achieved comparable rates of T2D remission and weight loss compared to other populations undergoing similar interventions, though they were associated with variability in individual responses.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). |
| Intervention | Low-calorie diet (LCFD and LCRFD—low-calorie with reduced fat diet). |
| Comparison | T2D remission rates and weight loss outcomes in other populations following similar low-calorie diets. |
| Outcome | Low-calorie diets achieved similar rates of T2D remission and weight loss. Notable variability in individual responses was observed. The study highlights that dietary interventions are effective for T2D management among Chinese adults, comparable to results in other populations. |
