Summary

This study aims to test whether a personalized meal plan (Individualized Dietary Plan, IDP) is practical and helpful for adults with type 2 diabetes in Peshawar, Pakistan. We want to see if patients can follow the IDP for 10 weeks and if it improves their blood sugar control and cholesterol levels. About 122 participants will be randomly assigned to either the IDP group (receiving customized diet advice) or a standard care group. We will measure their weight, blood sugar (HbA1c), cholesterol, and other health markers at the start and after 3 months. Results will show if a larger study is feasible in our local community.

Detailed description

Type 2 diabetes prevalence in Pakistan is high (16.98%), yet standardized dietary advice is often given without considering individual factors like age, weight, or lifestyle. Evidence shows nutrition therapy improves glycemic control, but no studies have tested personalized dietary plans in Pakistan's local population. This feasibility trial addresses this gap by evaluating the practicality of implementing IDPs at the Diabetes Hospital and Research Centre Peshawar.
