What should the doctor prescribe—formula diet or antidiabetics? Effectiveness of formula diet-based lifestyle intervention vs. pharmacological antiglycemic therapy on weight loss and HbA1c reduction in type 2 diabetes patients—a systematic review
There is evidence that formula diet-based lifestyle intervention might improve weight loss to a greater extent than pharmacotherapies with comparable long-term glycemic control. Thus, formula diet-based lifestyle intervention might be a valid therapy option for obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
