Influence of the Use of Specific Nutritional Formulas on Time in Range in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Who can participate? Individuals may be eligible to join this study if they meet the following criteria: * Are 18 years or older. * Have Type 2 diabetes with an A1c level higher than 7%. * Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 35 (considered overweight or Class 1 obesity). * Have used a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) successfully in the past. How the study works: If eligible individuals decide to join and sign the consent form, a computer will randomly assign them into one of two groups: The Formula Group: Participants will replace their usual breakfast and one snack with a specific diabetes nutritional drink (Glucerna®). The Standard Diet Group: Participants will follow a standard low-calorie meal plan without using the nutritional drink. Both groups will aim for a specific daily calorie goal (1,200-1,500 for women; 1,500-1,800 for men) and will receive expert nutritional counseling. Monitoring and Follow-up Over the course of 3 months, close contact will be maintained to support participants: Every 2 weeks: A nutrition expert will call participants to check on their diet and help with their glucose monitor. Every month: Participants will meet with the study team in person to review glucose monitor data. Tests: At the start and end of the study, weight, body composition, blood sugar (A1c), and cholesterol levels will be measured to see how the plans worked.
