Optimising blood glucose control with portioned meal box in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a randomised control trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of dietary factors on glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is well established. However, the effectiveness of transforming portion control into a practical innovation for glycaemic control in T2DM has not yet been established for counselling in nutrition. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of general counselling in nutrition (GCN) and a portioned meal box (PMB) on fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and body composition.

Methods

Results

Both GCN and PMB demonstrated r
