In a recent study, it was found that a very low carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet dramatically improved blood sugar makers and reduced medication use. After 1-year of following participants, the researchers found:

  • Significant weight loss
  • A reduced hemoglobin A1C, the marker of blood sugar regulation.
  • 94% reduced blood sugar medications 
  • Liver health improved 
  • The diet was well tolerated.

These are exciting findings and reveal that diet really can be medicine!
