Liver Fat as a Dietary Target of the Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) Diet for Treating Type 2 Diabetes With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Version 3.0)
Condition(s) studied
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusMetabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
CMNT diet
CMNT diet: Hypocaloric CMNT diet plan: A diet plan with intermittent use of enriched traditional-Chinese-medicinal-foods CMNT diet
Study summary
This study aims to explore the efficacy of CMNT, an intermittent energy restriction (iER) intervention, in managing Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. An interim analysis will be added to the planned 120-participant CMNT intervention program to compare intervention efficacy with the usual care control group and assess potential risks associated with dietary interventions.

Primary outcome measure(s)
- Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) value by transient elastography — 3, 6, 12, 24 months
The CAP score, which be measured by FibroScan, will be used to quantify and detect liver fat. CAP \< 238 dB/m indicated no hepatic steatosis, 238 ≤ CAP ≤ 259 dB/m denoted mild steatosis, 260 ≤ CAP ≤291 dB/m indicated moderate steatosis, and CAP \> 291 dB/m denoted severe steatosis.
- HbA1C — 3, 6, 12, 24 months
Blood test to measure glucose control
