Effectiveness of a Low-Calorie Diet Combined With Intensive Lifestyle Intervention Using Integrated Personalized Diabetes Management for Achieving Diabetes Remission in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Thailand54 participantsStarted 2026-06-17
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a low-calorie diet combined with intensive lifestyle intervention using Integrated Personalized Diabetes Management (iPDM) is more effective than standard care in achieving diabetes remission in adults with overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study will also evaluate the effects of the intervention on metabolic and clinical outcomes associated with diabetes remission.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does a low-calorie diet combined with intensive lifestyle intervention using iPDM increase the proportion of participants who achieve diabetes remission compared with standard care?
* Does the intervention improve metabolic and patient-centered outcomes, including glycemic control, body weight, body composition, Time in Range (TIR) measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), quality of life, and cost-effectiveness?
Researchers will compare participants receiving a low-calorie diet combined with intensive lifestyle intervention using iPDM with participants receiving standard diabetes care to determine whether the intervention is more effective in achieving diabetes remission and improving metabolic health.
Participants will:
* Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the standard care group.
* Attend study visits for assessments of diabetes-related clinical and metabolic outcomes throughout the 6-month study.
* If assigned to the intervention group, consume two low-calorie meal replacements per day and follow an individualized meal plan providing no more than 1,200 kcal per day during the first 3 months (intensive phase), together with a personalized exercise program, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and lifestyle counseling delivered via telemedicine every 2 weeks. During the following 3 months (maintenance phase), continue lifestyle modification with reinforcement sessions delivered via telemedicine every 4 weeks while following a meal plan providing no more than 1,500 kcal per day.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus with HbA1c level of 6.0 to 9.0%. Participants with HbA1c of 6.0 to 6.4% were required to be receiving oral glucose lowering medication.
* Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus for less than 6 years.
* Body mass index of 23 kg/m2 or greater.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Receiving more than two oral glucose-lowering medications.
* Receiving insulin therapy.
* Use of a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) within 3 months before study enrollment.
* Use of medications known to affect HbA1c within 3 months before study enrollment, including corticosteroids, vitamin C (excluding vitamin C obtained from natural dietary sources or fruits), vitamin E, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or hydroxyurea.
* History of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state within the previous 6 months.
* Unstable psychiatric disorders within the previous 2 years, including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.

* Presence of any of the following medical conditions based on medical history and clinical records, including chronic kidney disease with an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, liver cirrhosis or hepatitis with alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase more than 3 times the upper limit of normal, chronic alcohol abuse, hypothyroidism with thyroid-stimulati…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
