First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether a low-carb diet (50-100 grams of carbs per day) combined with the diabetes drug dapagliflozin could improve blood sugar control in people with chronic kidney disease and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Four participants were split into two groups: one received the diet plus drug, the other received standard care plus the drug. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
