Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two different dietary approaches—a low-calorie diet or a low-carbohydrate diet—can help people with type 2 diabetes achieve remission (meaning blood sugar returns to normal levels without medication). You would be assigned to one of these two diet programs and receive support from a registered dietitian and pharmacist over one year, with the goal of losing weight and reducing or stopping diabetes medications.
Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle to manage their condition with medication alone. This study investigates whether carefully designed diet programs, combined with professional support, can help people reverse their diabetes rather than just managing it long-term.
You would join one of two groups: either a low-calorie diet using pre-packaged foods with in-person and virtual appointments, or a low-carbohydrate whole-food diet managed through virtual visits. The program runs for one year and is divided into three phases—an initial 12-week weight loss phase, an 8-week transition to a diet you can sustain long-term, and a 32-week maintenance phase. Throughout the year, you'll work with a dietitian and pharmacist, have your blood sugar and medications monitored, and share feedback about your experience.
