Smart Blood Sugar - 1 minute read
How does a keto diet help many with Type 2 diabetes? In 2016, the Journal of Obesity and Eating Disorders published a review suggesting a keto diet may help people with diabetes by improving their A1c test results, more than a calorie diet.
The ketogenic diet places emphasis on the consumption of more protein and fat, making you feel less hungry and therefore leading to weight loss. Protein and fat take longer to digest than carbohydrates and helps to keep energy levels up.
In a nutshell, the ketogenic diet...
- lowers blood sugar,
- enhances insulin sensitivity and
- promotes less dependency on medications.
