Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of intensive medical nutrition therapy on blood sugar control, systemic inflammation, and gut barrier function in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this randomized controlled trial, adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be assigned to either an intensive medical nutrition therapy group or a control group. The intensive medical nutrition therapy group will receive individualized nutrition therapy and weekly follow-ups for 12 weeks, while the control group will receive standard dietary counseling. The study will assess changes in glycemic control (HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose), inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6), and intestinal permeability (ZO-1), as well as quality of life and self-care behaviors. The goal is to evaluate whether intensive medical nutrition therapy can improve metabolic outcomes and overall health in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
