Evidence Suggest
- HbA1c decreased by 0.61% (p < 0.001).
- Fasting plasma glucose decreased by 15.25 mg/dL (p < 0.001).
- Total cholesterol decreased by 2.82 mg/dL (p = 0.036).
Who this applies to
- Adults diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
- Patients using continuous glucose monitoring devices.
Keep in Mind
- Results may not be generalizable to all diabetes populations.
- The increase in body mass index was not statistically significant.
- Further research is needed to confirm long-term effects.
Between the Lines
- Study design was non-randomized, limiting causal inference.
- Sample size and demographic details were not specified.
- Potential confounding factors were not controlled.
