The glycaemic benefits of a very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet in adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus may be opposed by increased hypoglycaemia risk and dyslipidaemia

Diabetic Medicine May 28, 2018

Leow ZZX, et al. - In this observational study, the researchers examined whether very-low-carbohydrate high-fat diets, typical of ketogenic diets, can improve glycaemic control without causing any ill health effects in adults with Type 1 diabetes. Participants were eleven adults with Type 1 diabetes who followed a ketogenic diet for a mean ± sd of 2.6 ± 3.3 years, underwent sampling and analysis of fasting blood and were fitted with a blinded continuous glucose monitor for 7 days to measure glycaemic variability. It was observed in the findings that ketogenic diets in adults with Type 1 diabetes were associated with excellent HbA1c levels and little glycaemic variability, however, could also be associated with dyslipidaemia and a high number of hypoglycaemic episodes.
