Summary

Low-carbohydrate diets (less than approximately 130 grams per day) are emerging as an efficacious treatment option with several studies supporting weight loss and remission of type 2 diabetes. Many physicians are now implementing this strategy but the time it takes to educate patients on nutrition is a barrier. The research team is working with physicians to develop a solution whereby the nutrition education and intervention is delivered via mobile/online technology (i.e., an app). This study will test whether it is feasible and efficacious for physicians to recommend this app to their patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes to help them lose weight and improve their condition.
