Digital Twin-Enabled Personalized Nutrition Improves Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease in Type 2 Diabetes: Results of a 1-Year Randomized Controlled Study

Endocr PractPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

At 1 year, DT-enabled personalized treatment significantly improved hyperglycemia and surrogate markers of MAFLD and MRI-PDFF.
