The Claim
Adults with type 2 diabetes who use a mobile health application supporting a low-carbohydrate dietary intervention for 3 months achieve an HbA1c level below 6.5% at a rate of 52%, suggesting that nearly half of users may reach non-diabetic glycaemic control within this period when adhering to the program.
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.
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.
