Carbohydrate restriction may normalize blood sugar in prediabetics, finds study
USA: Continuous care intervention (CCI) emphasizing carbohydrate restriction may help in regression from prediabetes (preD) to normoglycemia (NG) or normal blood sugar levels, suggests a recent study published in the journal Diabetes. Prediabetes regression, in turn, is associated with reduced progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D).
It is not only that people with established diabetes have to routinely monitor and regulate their blood sugar to avoid complications. Even individuals with Prediabetes have to regulate their blood sugar to halt it's progress to diabetes.
Carbohydrate restriction including nutritional ketosis (CR) has emerged as an effective, safe, and sustainable treatment for regression of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in T2D yet its multi-year effects on prediabetes are not known. Also, some patients have difficulty initiating and/or sustaining provider-recommended lifestyle changes. Thus, Amy Mckenziefrom San Francisco, CA, and colleagues hypothesized that a remotely delivered CCI emphasizing CR would improve blood sugar and weight in patients with preD.
