Published Both high-protein and normal-protein diets are effective for T2D management
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New findings indicate that the type of protein in the diet is not as important as the overall amount of weight loss for those with Type 2 diabetes. 106 adults with T2D were randomly assigned to either the high-protein or normal-protein diet for 52 weeks.
