If you have type 2 diabetes and use a low-carb diet app for 3 months, there's a good chance—about half the people in the claim—that your blood sugar could get as low as someone without diabetes.

If you have type 2 diabetes and eat very few carbs (like less than a slice of bread per meal) while getting ongoing support from a doctor or coach, you might lower your blood sugar so much that you can stop taking diabetes meds—and for many people, that improvement lasts a year or even two.

If adults with type 2 diabetes eat fewer carbs—dropping from about a third to less than a fifth of their daily calories for three months—they might see their average blood sugar drop by a full point, and the more they cut carbs, the better their blood sugar control tends to get.

If adults with type 2 diabetes lose 5% or more of their weight in 3 months using a low-carb app, they see better blood sugar control than those who lose less weight.

People with type 2 diabetes who used the online low-carb program saw their blood sugar drop by about 0.6% and lost around 6 pounds on average.

If you're overweight and have type 2 diabetes, eating fewer carbs and more protein for 6 weeks can slightly lower your blood sugar better than the usual diabetes diet—even if you lose the same amount of weight—because your blood sugar stays more stable throughout the day.
