Description
The aim of this project was to describe a quality program for individuals with Type II Diabetes (T2DM) that implemented a Mediterranean-style diet lower in carbohydrates to lower A1C (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) and BMI (Body mass index) in a 12-week period. These markers are clinically significant because A1C levels indicate an average of blood sugars over three months, and lower BMI scores over time indicate weight loss. Both of these variables are important markers of diabetic health.
