Overweight and obese type 2 patients show improvements with structured nutrition therapy

The results of a new study, presented at the American Diabetes Association's 76th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, Louisiana this week, show that a highly structured nutrition plan provides the most significant impact on A1C, body weight and lipid profiles in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. The "Nutrition Pathway Study" compared three models of nutrition therapy and is the first to do so using glycaemic parameters, body weight and cardiovascular risk factors.
