Research suggests that people with type 2 diabetes can slim down and lower their blood sugar levels with the keto diet. In one study, people with type 2 lost weight, needed less medication, and lowered their A1c when they followed the keto diet for a year.
One may also ask, should Type 1 diabetics avoid carbs?
It’s important to manage carbohydrate intake if you have type 1 diabetes. Some carbohydrates will act faster on blood sugar than others. If you’re experiencing low blood sugar levels, choosing a fast-acting carb that’ll be easily digested and absorbed into the bloodstream is best.
Keeping this in consideration, can Type 1 diabetics do the Cambridge diet? The Cambridge 1:1 diet is a VLCD (Very low-calorie diet) meal replacement diet in which 415 to 1500 calories consumed daily through a combination of meal replacement bars, smoothies, shakes and soups.
