A special diet for type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease

This study is testing a special eating plan called Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) for people who have both type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver. The diet uses whole grains and traditional Chinese medicinal foods to help manage blood sugar and reduce fat in the liver. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than standard dietary advice alone.

Many people with type 2 diabetes also develop fatty liver disease, which can worsen both conditions. This trial exists to find out whether this medication-free dietary approach can address both problems at once and help patients avoid or reduce the need for extra medications.
