Abstract: Background and Aim: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasingly recognized as a significant global health issue, characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose levels, which can lead to serious complications such as vascular diseases and neuropathy. Conventional management strategies for diabetes have often struggled to address the complexities of this condition. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the SugarFit Diabetes Reversal and Management Program (SDRMP) in achieving reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood sugar (FBS), as well as promoting weight loss within a 3-month timeframe while focusing on implementing lifestyle modifications and holistic care, including essential mental health support. Methodology: This retrospective study assessed data from 2590 T2D patients (1918 males and 672 females) who completed the SDRMP over 3 months. The participants underwent continuous glucose monitoring and received personalized dietary and physical activity interventions. Clinical evaluations, including HbA1c, FBS, and weight measurements were conducted at baseline and after 90 days. Additionally, psychological consultations were integrated to address diabetes-related distress. Statistical analyses were executed to evaluate the program's impact on improvements in key health metrics. Results: The findings revealed noteworthy advancements in both glycemic control and weight management among the participants. Average HbA1c level saw a decrease from 9.9% to 7.9%, representing a mean reduction of 2%, accompanied by an average decline in FBS levels by 49.1 mg/dL. Remarkably, participants achieved an average weight loss of 2.3 kg. Furthermore, the psychological support provided throughout the program was instrumental in addressing diabetes-related distress, which subsequently improved adherence to the program and positively influenced overall health outcomes. Conclusion: The findings from the SDRMP highlight its substantial effectiveness in reducing HbA1c and FBS levels while promoting weight loss within a short time frame of just three months. The program’s individualized approach, which places a strong emphasis on mental health support, establishes a comprehensive care model that effectively addresses the complex nature of managing type 2 diabetes. This study highlights the essential value of combining lifestyle interventions with emotional assistance to achieve lasting outcomes in diabetes management.
