Core Tip

Core tip: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rising rapidly in rural areas, and lifestyle interventions can effectively reduce the blood glucose levels of patients with T2DM. However, current dietary and exercise guidelines are still at experimental stages and are difficult for subjects to understand and implement. The Human Metabolism Analyzer can accurately detect and analyze the effects of food types, sequence of food intake, activity or exercise pattern, and time on blood glucose production and consumption, providing a simple and effective lifestyle intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes. In this study, we analyzed the precise data obtained by the Human Metabolism Analyzer, demonstrating that this method has good effectiveness and compliance, and provides a new method for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
