Evaluating the Impact of an Anti-inflammatory Diet Compared to Standard Diabetes Dietary Advice on Inflammation and Blood Sugar Control in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying whether an evidence-based anti-inflammatory dietary intervention can reduce inflammation and improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM, a chronic condition marked by high blood glucose and low-grade inflammation. The trial compares the effects of an anti-inflammatory diet to a standard diabetes diet to see if it offers additional benefits beyond routine care. Participants will be randomly assigned to either follow a structured anti-inflammatory diet or receive standard dietary advice for diabetes management over a 4-week period. The intervention involves dietary guidance based on anti-inflammatory food recommendations, while the control group follows usual diabetes dietary guidelines. During the study, participants will complete dietary assessments including 24-hour recalls to calculate dietary inflammatory index scores. Blood samples will be taken at the start and end of the 4 weeks to measure markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein hs-CRP, fasting blood glucose, and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose. Questionnaires on dietary adherence and quality of life will also be completed. Researchers will monitor these outcomes to evaluate the impact of the dietary interventions.
