In adults aged 18-65 with type 2 Diabetes, can the utilization of a mobile application
program versus a strict ADA weight-based diet affect the reduction of blood glucose level
or A1c over a three-month period?
According to (Coughlin, 2017) there is a close link between the diet quality and the major
cardiometabolic risks that are among the adults of ages 18-65. He further says that blood glucose
control can greatly be improved through proper diet and exercise therapy which forms an
important treatment of type 2 diabetes. His key points revolved around examining the
effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes as it revealed by
cardiovascular indicators, the body mass index calculator and the body’s weight.
Utilization of a mobile application program positively affects the reduction of blood
glucose levels. According to (Izahar, (2017), reveals that the design of diabetes mobile
applications is primarily focused on reporting and giving reminders. He adds that type 2 diabetes
self-management mobile applications are developed to manage diabetic conditions especially
when clinicians recommend the most suitable based on the patient's condition.
The American Diabetes Association gives a recommendation on the kind of diet patients
suffering from type 2 diabetes should consume. This gives a balance between energy intake and
exercise IQ. A strict ADA diet contributes to the reduction of blood glucose levels because it
advocates for lower glycemic load, avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages and the essence of fat
quantity and quality.
Three months are not adequate for a full recovery from type 2 Diabetes. A period of 6
months is recommended. Clinical research reveals that the modern diet for individuals with type
2 diabetes is linked to an individualized lifestyle change. This article gives an intensive report
concerning patients suffering from type 2 diabetes and possible ways of gradual recovery
