Adherence
Personalized Nutrition Therapy (PNT) combined with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) produces significant weight loss and fat mass reduction in overweight/obese individuals with prediabetes, even without explicit weight loss counseling or caloric restriction mandates.
If you have prediabetes and are overweight, try using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) not just for data, but as a feedback tool. Work with a nutritionist to personalize your diet based on your glucose responses to specific foods, rather than following a generic 'low calorie' or 'low carb' diet. Focus on keeping glucose under 140 mg/dL after meals. This approach can lead to significant weight loss and fat reduction without the stress of strict calorie counting or feeling deprived.
These findings indicate that overweight or obese individuals with prediabetes can achieve weight loss and improved body composition through personalized education for glucose control, without exclusively emphasizing weight loss as the primary objective.
Why this rating
