The Claim
In a cohort of 24 German individuals following a carnivore diet, two participants with pre-diabetic HbA1c levels and six with elevated triglycerides (>130 mg/dL) showed reductions in these metabolic markers during the diet, though overall group changes were not statistically significant, indicating a potential for metabolic improvement specifically in those with baseline dysregulation.
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.
Some people in Germany who ate only meat saw their blood sugar and fat levels get better, especially if they started with high levels — but not everyone improved, and the group as a whole didn’t change enough to be sure it wasn’t just chance.

In a sample of 24 German carnivore diet followers, two individuals with initially pre-diabetic HbA1c levels and six with elevated triglycerides (>130 mg/dL) experienced reductions in these markers while on the diet, although the overall group changes were not statistically significant, suggesting potential metabolic improvements in individuals with baseline dysregulation.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at people eating a carnivore diet and found that those who started with high blood sugar or triglyceride levels often saw improvements, just like the claim says.
