The Claim
In adults with type 2 diabetes following a medically supervised ketogenic diet, the use of continuous glucose monitoring and blood glucose monitoring is associated with substantial improvements in time in range (TIR), with average increases of 28% and 23%, respectively, over a three-month period.
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.
For adults with type 2 diabetes on a medically supervised ketogenic diet, using either continuous glucose monitoring or traditional blood glucose monitoring is linked to measurable improvements in the amount of time their blood sugar stays within a healthy range, with continuous monitoring showing a slightly larger average improvement over three months.
See the scientific wording
In adults with type 2 diabetes on a medically supervised ketogenic diet, both continuous glucose monitoring and blood glucose monitoring lead to substantial improvements in time in range (TIR), with average increases of 28% and 23%, respectively, over three months.
When people with type 2 diabetes check their blood sugar often, they can see how food affects their levels right away. This helps them avoid eating things that spike their sugar, so their blood sugar stays more stable throughout the day.
What the research says
1 studyIn people with type 2 diabetes on a strict low-carb diet, both using a continuous glucose monitor and checking blood sugar manually helped improve their blood sugar control, with both methods boosting good blood sugar levels by about 20-30% in three months.
