The Claim

In adults with type 2 diabetes, consuming a very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat breakfast reduces 24-hour glycemic variability (measured as mean amplitude of glycemic excursions) by 0.4 mmol/L·24h compared to other breakfast compositions.

Source: Restricting carbohydrates at breakfast is sufficient to reduce 24-hour exposure to postprandial hyperglycemia and improve glycemic variability.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
