Low Glycemic Diet Intervention and Community Diabetic Patients

Sun Yat-sen University1,000 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of nutrition education-based low glycemic diet intervention on community diabetic patients. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Main measures: HbA1c,fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 hours postprandial blood glucose（2hPG）

Low glycemic diet can help to control Blood glucose levels，this study is to investigate the efficiency of nutrition education-based low glycemic diet intervention on community diabetic patients,and to improve health outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by influencing disease self-management through lifestyle modification and diet controlling.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

Because glycosylated hemoglobin is not affected by plasma glucose fluctuation and can reflect the average blood glucose concentration over the past six to eight weeks.We take a blood sample to check participants' glycosylated hemoglobin concentration at baseline and 12 months respectively.Comparing the change of glycosylated hemoglobin levels, to investigate the effect of the our intervention method.

Time frame: Change from Baseline HbA1c at 12 months
