A nice presentation of a study of 99 participants over 6 months and their diabetes control, using a low carb (20% of diet) intervention.

HbA1c down by 1% in 3 months!

20% is a low carb diet, not a ketogenic diet, its 85g of carbs, or about 340 kcal from carbs per day.

I’m really impressed at the improvements in this cohort with a mild dietary intervention, promising work!

    Type I or Type II?

    Because something like 98%+ of all diabetes in the US is Type II, which is pretty much caused by diet.

    I really wish it wasn’t called diabetes.

    Diet-Induced Glycemic Instability would be a better name. That same diet is why cardiovascular issues have increased in the last 40 years.

    Which diet? The “low fat” nonsense started in the 80’s.

      The study is about type 2 diabetes

      I think advanced insulin resistance would be a better name and identify there are many warning signs and issues before most people develop full blown type 2 diabetes

      The diet they used in the study was a low carbohydrate, less than 20% of intake is carbohydrates, which is about 85 g of carbohydrates per day.

    Of course the population here was quite motivated to adhere to the program, being diabetic and wanting better outcomes. There was no control other than food survey’s here.
