Cardiometabolic health effects of dietary counselling on a high-quality, fibre-rich diet in adults with type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial

control, but not significant. The change in 10-year CVD risk across the 6 months of the trial (primary outcome) did not differ between groups -0·1 %, 95 % CI: -0·2, 0·1. Changes over time in HbA1c (-1·1 mmol/mol, 95 % CI: -4·4, 2·3), LDL-cholesterol (0·0 mmol/l, 95 % CI: -0·2, 0·3), blood pressure (-1 mmHg, 95 % CI: -6, 4), body weight (-0·1 kg, 95 % CI: -1·2, 1·1) or medication use did not differ between groups. Dietary counselling for 6 months slightly improved adherence to a high-quality, fibre-rich diet in patients with type 2 diabetes but did not significantly impact cardiometabolic health or medication use.
