NCT ID NCT06911879
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet with fewer calories can reduce inflammation and improve blood sugar control in prediabetic obese adults aged 18 to 40. Ninety participants were split into three groups: a keto diet, a normal diet with fewer calories, or a normal diet without calorie restriction. The main focus was on changes in blood markers of inflammation and insulin resistance over 12 weeks.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a dietary approach to reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity in people with prediabetes and obesity.
