Abstract

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessed the effectiveness of a web-based low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) program in improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Ninety-eight participants were randomized to either standard care plus the web-based T2Diet program (intervention) or standard care only (control). The primary outcome was HbA1c. The intervention group showed statistically significant reductions in HbA1c (-0.65%), weight (-3.26 kg), BMI (-1.11 kg/m²), and anti-glycaemic medication requirements (-0.40) compared to the control group. The web-based T2Diet program significantly improved glycemic control and clinical outcomes in adults with T2DM, highlighting the potential for improving access to dietary education and support.
