Popis: In a recent randomized clinical trial, we compared 6 hours of conventional weight loss (WL) training to an equivalent amount of Glycemic Excursion Minimization (GEM) that is a paradigm-shift in lifestyle management for adults with T2D. GEM focuses on diminishing post-nutrient BG excursions by: 1) minimizing BG upsurge by reducing net carbohydrate ingestion, and 2) hastening BG recovery by increasing routine and post-meal physical activity.1 We now present the 13-month follow-up data, with no further training or contact, to evaluate the relative durability of these interventions. All of the WL and 97% of GEM participants who completed 3-month post-assessment also completed 13-month follow-up. At 13 months, WL participants sustained the improvement in BMI they showed at 3 months, while GEM participants continued to significantly benefit from lower HbA1c (p 1BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 8:e001795. doi: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2020-001795.
