Those results pretty much mirror my experience with moderate carb vs keto. After 12 months of moderate carb my A1c was considered pre-diabetic. Switching to keto lowered my A1c back to the normal range. I did find it interesting that both groups in this study seemed to have 5 participants whose HbA1c dropped at 6 months and then had increased at 12 months. It is also interesting that the remaining trends continued to drop in the moderate carb group while leveling off in the keto group. I'm not sure that means anything but it does make me wonder about the factors not mentioned.

So maybe not enough power to be sure those trends you mention mean anything at all. Even something like when the study began can have an effect here. People do well in six month studies, 12 month studies include Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. |
