Low-carb diet along with weight loss for diabetes remission
- People on a low-carb diet lost about 3.4 Kilograms of weight more than those on other diets.
- Low carb diet also reduced the triglyceride (a type of fat) levels in the body.
- 57% of the people on a low-carb diet had gone into remission, whereas only 31% of the people, out of those on another type of diet, managed to achieve remission.
- However, on following up both the groups after 12 months, diabetes remission diminished in most subjects. It was noticed that remission was prevalent only in people who adhered to the low-carb diet in a sustained manner and lost weight while following it.
- The research concluded that weight loss is extremely important for the improvement of blood sugar levels and to achieve remission from type 2 diabetes.
