Intermittent Fasting vs. Standard Diet in Adults with Type
2 Diabetes
Type your introduction here. Although the first paragraph after the paper title is the
introduction, no heading labeled “Introduction” is used. This is a great place to utilize a
scholarly resource, to emphasize why the topic is important.
Clinical Question
This section will discuss your Clinical Question. Be sure to talk about these following
rubric criteria below.
Describe the Problem
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance and high
blood sugar levels. The focus of this group’s work is to explore dietary interventions that
can improve blood sugar control, weight loss, lipid profile, and quality of life in adults
with type 2 diabetes. Poor management of blood sugar levels can lead to severe
complications such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, and retinopathy. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 34 million Americans
have diabetes, and type 2 diabetes accounts for 90-95% of these cases.
PICOT Question
In adults with type 2 diabetes (P), how does intermittent fasting (I) compared to a
standard diet without specific fasting periods (C) affect blood sugar control, weight loss,
lipid profile, and quality of life (O) over a period of 12 weeks (T)?
Purpose of the Paper
The purpose of this paper is to explore and compare the effects of intermittent fasting
and a standard diet on blood sugar control, weight loss, lipid profile, and quality of life in
adults with type 2 diabetes over a 12-week period. This will help in identifying the most
effective dietary intervention for managing type 2 diabetes.
Levels of Evidence
In this section, discuss your Clinical Question and the Evidence that would be used to
answer this. Be sure to talk about these following rubric criteria below.
Type of Question
The type of question being asked is a therapy question, as it seeks to determine the
effectiveness of an intervention (intermittent fasting) compared to a standard diet.
Best Type of Evidence
The best type of evidence to answer this question would be a Randomized Controlled
Trial (RCT), as it is considered the gold standard for evaluating the effectiveness of
interventions. Cohort studies and systematic reviews of RCTs could also provide
valuable insights.
