Impact of Carbohydrate Intake Threshold on the Efficacy of Low Carbohydrate Diets in Type 2 Diabetes Remission: A systematic Review and Meta Analysis
By: Lucas Song, Palo Alto High School
Low carbohydrate diets (LCD) have gained support for their monumental benefits, but their role in managing type 2 diabetes (T2D) is undetermined. This study uses a systematic review and meta-analysis to outline and assess the impact of low carbohydrate diets on diabetes remission, measured through HbA1c (hemoglobin A1C), and to determine if the maximum carbohydrate intake threshold impacts the efficacy of the diet.
