Meal Replacement System for Type 2 Diabetes
(DRS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial uses a meal replacement diet combined with self-prepared meals to help people with Type 2 Diabetes who don't use insulin. The goal is to help them lose 20-30 pounds, which can improve their blood sugar levels and possibly lead to diabetes remission without medication. Meal replacement plans have been shown to be effective in weight loss and improving glycemic control in patients with type-2 diabetes.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current diabetes medications, but it aims to achieve diabetes remission without the use of medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators.
How does the Proprietary Meal Replacement System treatment for type 2 diabetes differ from other treatments?
The Proprietary Meal Replacement System for type 2 diabetes is unique because it focuses on replacing meals rather than using traditional insulin or oral medications. This approach may help manage blood sugar levels by controlling calorie and carbohydrate intake, which is different from other treatments that primarily focus on insulin delivery or enhancing insulin action.12345
