A 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Meal Replacement Diet and Glycemic Control for Adults With Diabetes: The EARLY Randomized Clinical Trial

EARLY Randomized Clinical Trial: 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Meal Replacement Diet and Glycemic Control for Adults With Diabetes

Key Findings:

An intermittent fasting plan of 2 nonconsecutive fasting days and 5 days of habitual intake per week combined with a meal replacement diet (5:2 MR) showed significant benefits for patients with early type 2 diabetes.

Study Details:

The study was conducted in 9 centers across China and included 509 eligible patients. 405 patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups for the 16-week treatment, with an 8-week follow-up.

Results:

Participants in the 5:2 MR group showed the greatest reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, significantly greater than those receiving metformin or empagliflozin. Additionally, the 5:2 MR group experienced greater weight loss compared to the other groups.

Implications:

The trial found that 5:2 MR could improve glycemic outcomes and weight loss in the short term, making it a promising initial intervention and early management for type 2 diabetes.
