What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of plant-based meal replacement system on A1-C levels

    Blood draw to measure the effect of the diet on the A1-C level. Normal A1C is at or below 5.7%. Prediabetes levels range between 5.8%-6.4%. Diabetes is at or above 6.5%.

    Measured: Change between baseline and six month visit.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of plant-based meal replacement system on insulin levels

    Blood draw to measure the effect of the diet on fasting insulin. Insulin levels under the value 10 are considered normal.

    Measured: Change between baseline and six month visit.
