Optimizing Diet for Glycemic Control
All individuals will go through all the phases of the study. Phase 1: Metabolic testing to determine insulin resistance status. Phase 2: Participants follow their own diet while using the CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Participants are provided with 5-10 standardized foods to test during this phase. Phase 3: Participants are provided with additional standardized foods and counseled to continue their own diet during this phase. Phase 4: Participants are counseled on reducing or limiting the foods that caused glucose spikes and they are also counseled on macronutrient composition of their diet based on lipid profile. Participants use the CGM for another cycle of 2-3 weeks to assess effectiveness of the recommendations. Blood is drawn for analyses before and after this cycle. |
Other: Dietary
Dietary counseling based on results of CGM analyses. |
- Change in glycemic control as measured by change blood sugar values [ Time Frame: Three years ]Change in glycemic control measured from baseline through all phases of study. Glycemic control is derived from continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data and expressed in milligrams/deciliter.
- Area under the curve (AUC) of blood sugar level as a measurement of maximum peak serum glucose. [ Time Frame: Three years ]Measured from baseline through all phases of the study.
