New research suggests that switching to the “Very Low Carbohydrate Diet,” and not just your average low-carb diet, could be beneficial for Type 1 diabetes patients, as it could give them more control over their blood sugar levels.
In a study published this week in the journal Pediatrics, researchers conducted a survey involving 316 individuals, including 130 children, with Type 1 diabetes, all of whom were diagnosed with the condition at an average age of 14 to 16 years old, and had been on the Very Low Carbohydrate Diet (VLCD) for the past two to four years. Everyone who took part in the survey had been limiting their carbohydrate consumption to an average of just 15 to 366 grams of carbs per day, as noted by NDTV.
