This study aims to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a low-calorie diet (LCD) intervention in addressing the underlying pathophysiological abnormalities and improving fasting hyperglycemia among individuals with isolated impaired fasting glucose (i-IFG). Additionally, it seeks to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the LCD intervention.
