Summary

This study looked at whether a very low-carbohydrate version of the Diabetes Prevention Program works better than the standard program to lower blood sugar and body weight in people with prediabetes. Over 300 overweight adults with prediabetes took part. They were randomly assigned to either the standard program or a low-carb version, attending weekly online group classes for a year. The goal was to see which diet approach helps prevent type 2 diabetes more effectively.
