Liver Fat as a Dietary Target of the Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) Diet for Treating Type 2 Diabetes With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
About This Trial
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) represents a serious public health problem. Patients with T2D and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) demonstrate a poor metabolic profile and increase mortality compared with patients with only NAFLD or T2D. Nutritional intervention is the most basic treatment for T2D. Previous study showed that a Chinese medical nutrition therapy (CMNT) diet, which intermittent use of low-calorie medicinal food, has a glucose-lowering effect in T2D. This study aims to investigate the effect of a Chinese medical nutrition therapy (CMNT) diet accompanied by intermittent energy restriction on reducing liver fat and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with T2D and NAFLD.
