The Claim

The combination of a medically supervised ketogenic diet and remote care significantly improves time in range for adults with type 2 diabetes, irrespective of the type of glucose monitoring used.

Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

For adults with type 2 diabetes, following a ketogenic diet under medical supervision along with remote care helps maintain blood sugar levels within a healthy range more consistently, whether they use a continuous glucose monitor or traditional fingerstick testing.

See the scientific wording

The combination of a medically supervised ketogenic diet and remote care leads to significant improvements in time in range for adults with type 2 diabetes, regardless of whether they use continuous glucose monitoring or blood glucose monitoring.

Why this might work

When people eat fewer carbs, their blood sugar doesn't spike as much after meals, so their body doesn't need to produce as much insulin. This helps keep blood sugar levels more steady throughout the day, which means more time spent in the healthy range.

1 study
  1. Study: 611-P: Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) vs. Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) during a Nutrition Intervention on Time in Range (TIR)

    People with type 2 diabetes who followed a strict low-carb diet with remote doctor support saw better blood sugar control, no matter if they used a continuous glucose monitor or checked their blood sugar manually. Both methods worked well.
