Effects of nudge strategy-based dietary education intervention in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cluster randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
The present study provides evidence that nudge strategy-based dietary education intervention is effective in improving blood glucose, BMI, blood lipid levels, and blood pressure and facilitating changes in patients' dietary behavior and diabetes distress. These findings suggest that implementing nudge strategies can contribute to the optimization of T2DM dietary management and overall patient well-being.

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
HbA1c, FBG, BMI, lipids, blood pressure · 3 months
- Significantly greater reduction in HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FBG), body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, LDL-C and blood pressure with intervention vs control
- Intervention maintained HDL-C levels
- Changes in TG similar in the two groups
Further findings
Dietary behavior and diabetes distress · 3 months
- Significantly greater reduction in total energy, carbohydrate, fat and protein intake and lower diabetes distress with intervention vs control
- Significantly greater increase in vegetable intake with intervention
