Low carb diets & diabetes

Lower carbohydrate diets for adults with type 2 diabetes SACN Jan 2020
The evidence considered for the following markers and clinical outcomes of T2D suggests that for adults with T2D:
• body weight — no difference between lower and higher carbohydrate diets in the longer term (shorter-term weight changes were not considered)
• HbA1c — lower carbohydrate diets have benefits over higher carbohydrate diets in the shorter term but evidence for longer-term effects are unclear
• fasting plasma glucose — lower carbohydrate diets have benefits over higher carbohydrate diets in the shorter term but there is insufficient evidence to assess longer-term effects
• serum total cholesterol — no difference between lower and higher carbohydrate diets in the shorter or longer term
• serum triacylglycerol — lower carbohydrate diets have benefits over higher carbohydrate diets in the shorter term but evidence for longer-term effects are inconsistent
• serum LDL cholesterol — no difference between lower and higher carbohydrate diets in the shorter term or longer term
• serum HDL cholesterol — evidence for shorter-term and longer-term effects is inconsistent
• serum total cholesterol:HDL cholesterol ratio — none of the SRs with MAs considered this outcome • medication use — lower carbohydrate diets may have a beneficial effect in reducing diabetes medication but the evidence is unclear because of inconsistencies in the reporting and measurement of diabetes medications across primary studies • diabetes-related symptoms — none of the SRs with MAs considered this outcome
