Summary

This study compares two lifestyle programs for people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes: one using a ketogenic diet and the other a low-fat diet. Over 12 months, researchers will track changes in weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, and heart health. The goal is to see which diet leads to better metabolic improvements.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ketogenic diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a medically-supervised ketogenic diet is a better option than a standard low-fat diet for managing diabetes and weight.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. The ketogenic diet can be hard to stick with and may raise cholesterol in some people.
