About The Study: In this 6-month randomized clinical trial that included 150 adults, a low-carbohydrate diet intervention led to larger reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) than usual diet among adults with elevated untreated HbA1c, though the study was unable to evaluate its effects independently of weight loss. This diet, if sustained, might be a useful dietary approach for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, but more research is needed.
