The Claim
Adoption of a carnivore diet leads to improved glycemic control, as demonstrated by reductions in HbA1c levels among individuals who initially have pre-diabetic HbA1c values.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating only animal products might help people with slightly high blood sugar get it under better control, based on lower HbA1c levels seen in some people.

A carnivore diet can improve glycemic control, as evidenced by reduced HbA1c levels in individuals with pre-diabetic values.
What the research says
2 studiesThe study looked at people eating only animal-based foods, and those who had slightly high blood sugar before saw improvements after starting the diet.
The study found that people with slightly high blood sugar before going on a carnivore diet saw their levels improve afterward, which supports the idea that the diet might help control blood sugar.
