What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
very low-carbohydrate (keto) diet and plate-method diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a keto diet is better than a standard plate-method diet for managing blood sugar and body composition in type 2 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 182 participants, so results are limited in size. Dietary studies rely on self-reporting, and individual results may vary. The keto diet can be hard to stick with long-term.
