Information systems The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Malaysia is rising rapidly, leading to significant increases in healthcare expenditures, primarily due to long-term medication dependence. This study aims to provide a sustainable, culturally relevant, and cost-effective solution for managing T2DM by promoting a low-carbohydrate dietary intervention. This dietary approach is designed to reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals and achieve diabetes remission, thereby alleviating financial burdens on the Malaysian healthcare system. Our business proposal involves developing a comprehensive educational resource titled "Low Carbohydrate Diet for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Beginner's Guide." This guide incorporates global best practices and scientific evidence to ensure efficacy while being tailored to fit the Malaysian population's unique cultural and dietary preferences. Through strategic collaboration with local nutritionists and dietitians, we have adapted the diet to align with traditional Malaysian foods and culinary practices, ensuring its relevance and acceptance among patients. The book is a validated educational tool, that empowers individuals with T2DM to implement sustainable lifestyle changes. It includes step-by-step dietary guidance, infographics, and real-life case studies to enhance understanding and motivation. Expert evaluation and feedback were incorporated to ensure scientific accuracy and credibility. By reducing the need for medications and preventing complications associated with T2DM, the proposed dietary program is expected to generate substantial healthcare cost savings. Furthermore, the program's scalability and adaptability across different regions highlight its commercialization potential. Ultimately, our business idea addresses the urgent need for a cost-effective and patient-centered method to achieve diabetes remission through a low-carbohydrate diet, promoting better health outcomes and economic benefits.
