In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore whether quinoa diet can improve glycolipid metabolism and glucose fluctuations in patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and observe its impact on islet β-cell function and insulin resistance in patients with early-stage T2DM (diagnosed according to the 1999 WHO criteria, disease duration \<5 years, HbA1c 6.5%-10%, no history of insulin therapy, aged 20-70 years). The main question it aims to answer is: Can quinoa diet reduce blood glucose (fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin), improve lipid metabolism (cholesterol, triglycerides), and stabilize glucose fluctuations (time in range, time above range) in patients with early-stage T2DM? Does quinoa diet improve islet β-cell function (HOMA-β) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and reduce the need for oral hypoglycemic medications? Compari
