Reduced Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels

Diabetes and insulin resistance, which affect millions of people worldwide, can both be treated with low-carb and ketogenic diets. Studies show that dramatically reducing carbohydrates decreases blood sugar and insulin levels.

Low-carb diets are recommended for the treatment of diabetes by numerous researchers. In fact, very low carbohydrate diets were the recognized treatment standard for diabetics. Furthermore, when people follow low-carb diets, they appear to be effective over the long run. People with type 2 diabetes followed a low-carb diet for six months in one research. If they followed the diet, their diabetes was still well-managed more than 3 years later. Similar to this, during a 4-year period, those with type 1 diabetes who adhered to the diet saw a noticeable improvement in their blood sugar levels.
