In summary, Chinese individuals with T2DM who participated
in a structured intervention program showed
significant improvements in metabolic parameters associated
with glycemic control and cardiovascular health risk
factors compared to a Reference Group following usual
care practices. Consistent with these improvements, the
prevalence of the MetS was also significantly reduced.
Thus, the combination of education, dietary management
including a diabetes-specific nutritional meal-replacement,
and frequent glucose testing can be effective in diabetes
management and control in this patient population.
