Even a not-so-strict low-carb diet beats calorie restriction when it comes to reversing diabetes type 2. That is what a new Japanese study finds:
Science Direct: A randomized controlled trial of 130 g/day low-carbohydrate diet in type 2 diabetes with poor glycemic controlOur study demonstrated that a 6-month 130 g/day low-carbohydrate diet reduced HbA1c and BMI in poorly controlled Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A low-carbohydrate diet is a potentially useful nutrition therapy for Japanese patients who cannot adhere to calorie-restricted diet.
