Description
Yazan Khraise reviews trials of low-carbohydrate diets for type 2 diabetes in work from 2026. Such diets have drawn interest as a way to improve blood sugar control, but trial results have varied.
The review pooled seven trials with 562 adults and compared low-carbohydrate diets with control diets. The main measure was HbA1c, a blood test that reflects average sugar levels. Low-carbohydrate diets cut HbA1c by about a quarter of a point more than control diets, with low variation across trials. Checks found no clear sign of bias, though the small number of trials limits that judgment.
