Effect of structured diet with exercise education on anthropometry and lifestyle modification in patients with type 2 diabetes: A 12-month randomized clinical trial
Authors' conclusion
Structured diet and exercise counselling by specialised dietitian in ambulatory settings significantly reduced carbohydrate and daily energy intake, with improved anthropometric measurements and physical activity.
