The Claim
Adults with type 2 diabetes who use a mobile health app promoting a low-carbohydrate diet for 3 months experience a mean reduction in systolic blood pressure of 6 mmHg (95% CI: −10 to −1), suggesting potential cardiovascular risk reduction, even in the absence of significant changes in diastolic blood pressure or physical activity levels.
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, your top blood pressure number might drop by about 6 points — which could help your heart — even if you don’t change your exercise or bottom blood pressure number.
