Impact of a Nutritional Intervention Based on Moroccan Dietary Habits on the Glycemic Control of Type 2 Diabetics
Sponsor: Avicenna Military Hospital
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if a nutritional intervention adapted to Moroccan dietary habits can improve blood sugar control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a personalized diet based on Moroccan culinary traditions improve long-term blood sugar levels (HbA1c)? * How does this intervention affect daily blood sugar fluctuations measured as interstitial glucose? * Does the intervention lead to changes in body measurements, such as weight and Body Mass Index (BMI)? Participants will: * Wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to track sugar levels in real-time. * Keep a detailed food diary of all foods and drinks consumed. * Follow their usual diet for the first 7 days to establish a baseline. * Receive personalized dietary advice specifically tailored to Moroccan food habits. * Return for clinical check-ups at 14, 90, and 180 days for blood tests and body measurements.

Moroccan-Adapted Nutritional Plan
The intervention consists of a structured diet plan that integrates traditional Moroccan ingredients and cooking methods while optimizing for glycemic control. It involves: * Personalized meal planning based on individual food diaries. * Education on carbohydrate counting and portion sizes within the Moroccan culinary context. * Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data to provide real-time feedback on how specific Moroccan meals affect the participant's glucose levels.
