The ketogenic diet has emerged as one of the most promising dietary interventions for type 2 diabetes management, with multiple clinical trials showing significant improvements in blood glucose control.
By dramatically reducing carbohydrate intake, keto lowers the post-meal blood glucose spikes that characterise type 2 diabetes. Less glucose means less insulin demand.
A 2019 study in Diabetes Therapy found that patients following a ketogenic diet for 1 year showed significant reductions in HbA1c, body weight, and medication requirements.
This is critical: if you take insulin or sulphonylureas, your blood sugar may drop dangerously fast on keto. Work with your doctor to adjust doses before starting.
Focus on non-starchy vegetables, fatty fish, meat, eggs, and healthy oils. Our keto main dish recipes and keto salads are ideal low-glycaemic choices.
Test blood glucose daily, monitor HbA1c every 3 months, and keep a food diary to identify which foods affect your levels most.
