Efficacy and Safety of a Ketogenic Diet in Type 1 Diabetes (NCT06503809)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Despite strong evidence that tight control of blood sugar reduces the risk of diabetes complications, most people with type 1 diabetes do not achieve recommended blood sugar targets. This randomized controlled trial will test whether a very-low- carbohydrate ketogenic diet can effectively and safely improve blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes.
