Metabolic adaptation
Meal replacement (MR) significantly reduced glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by -0.46%, fasting blood glucose (FBG) by -0.62 mmol/L, body weight by -2.43 kg, and body mass index (BMI) by -0.65 compared to conventional diabetic diets (CDs).
Implementing meal replacement strategies can lead to significant improvements in glycemic control and weight management for T2D patients.
