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.

For adults with type 2 diabetes, using a continuous glucose monitor does not lead to better blood sugar control than using traditional blood glucose testing, when both groups are following a ketogenic diet and receiving remote care.

In adults with type 2 diabetes on a ketogenic diet managed remotely, using continuous glucose monitoring does not change overall time spent in the target glucose range compared to traditional blood glucose testing, but it is associated with a higher chance of meeting stricter glucose targets, such as spending more than 70% of the time in range and less than 4% of the time below 70 mg/dL.

For adults with type 2 diabetes on a medically supervised ketogenic diet, using either continuous glucose monitoring or traditional blood glucose monitoring is linked to measurable improvements in the amount of time their blood sugar stays within a healthy range, with continuous monitoring showing a slightly larger average improvement over three months.

Among adults with type 2 diabetes on a ketogenic diet, the number of low blood sugar events does not change based on whether they use a continuous glucose monitor or traditional fingerstick testing.

Following a ketogenic diet may lower blood sugar levels in adults, with research showing an average drop of 0.18 mmol/L compared to other diets.
