Quote:
The Mediterranean, Paleolithic, low-carbohydrate, high-protein, vegetarian, and nut-enriched diets have demonstrated benefits on glycemic control and weight loss in T2D, with the Mediterranean diet producing the greatest improvements in glycemic con-trol and a 29% CVD reduction over 4.8 years.55–60 Very low–energy diets can lower A1c, BMI, cholesterol, and B P.61,62
Very low–carbohydrate versus moderate carbohy-drate diets yield a greater decrease in A1c, more weight loss and use of fewer diabetes medications in individuals with diabetes.63–65 For those who are unable to adhere to a calorie-restricted diet, a low-carbohydrate diet reduces A1c and triglycerides.63–65 Very low–carbohydrate diets were effective in reducing A1c over shorter time periods (<6 months) with less differences in interventions ≥12 months.65a–65d For individuals using very low–carbohydrate dietary approaches, it is important for health care profes-sionals to maintain medical oversight and adjust diabetes medications.
