Treating Early Type 2 Diabetes by Reducing Postprandial Glucose Excursions: A Paradigm Shift in Lifestyle Modification
People newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes may be eligible to participate in a study featuring a lifestyle guide combined with a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) and FitBit. The study will determine if people respond better to usual care or to a lifestyle intervention that focuses on reducing how much blood glucose goes up after eating, by minimizing certain foods and increasing routine physical activity.
