Video Summary

Fourth-year medical student Shivangi Patel from Ohio University presented a study evaluating the effectiveness of "Mastering Diabetes," an online health coaching program. The program aims to reverse prediabetes, type 2, and gestational diabetes through a low-fat, plant-based diet over 16 weeks. Preliminary results from 28 participants (mean age 56) showed significant reductions in BMI, hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, and LDL levels, along with systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Future goals include increasing participant numbers and program accessibility to motivate broader engagement and enhance diabetes management.
