Low-Carb diet shows promise for kids with type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06699485
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a low-carbohydrate diet could help children and teens (ages 10-18) with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. Twenty-five participants followed the diet for a short time, and researchers measured their blood glucose levels. The goal was to see if eating fewer carbs could reduce blood sugar spikes and lower the amount of insulin needed.
