Part of the Diabetes Prevention Program: Tips and guidelines for diabetes prevention and treatment, including meal plans with caloric intake and suggested options for managing glycemic index
Several studies have demonstrated the reduction in the development of diabetes with moderate weight loss that is sustained over a long period of time.
Structured, intensive lifestyle programs that include individualized patient education on diet, physical activity and behavior modification have been proven to produce long-term weight loss and chronic disease prevention. Additionally, use of meal replacements (one or two meals) as part of a structured meal plan can also result in significant weight loss and improvements in blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol management.
