Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Fasting blood glucose
If the blood glucose level is between 4.0 and 5.4 mmol/L, the result is normal. If the fasting blood glucose level is between 5.5-6.9 mmol/L, the condition is called prediabetes. Diabetes refers to blood sugar greater than 8.5 mmol/L.
Average peripheral fasting blood glucose measured one week prior to participant enrollment. Fasting blood glucose measured in the first week after the end of 12 weeks of intervention.
2-h postprandial plasma glucose
less than 7.8mmol/L. When the blood glucose is 7.8\~11.1 mmol/L 2 hours after meals, it can be diagnosed as impaired or impaired glucose tolerance.
Average postprandial blood glucose measured in the week prior to study participant enrollment. Average postprandial 2-hour postprandial peripheral capillary blood glucose measured in the first week after the end of 12 weeks of intervention.
