keto Diet For Diabetics - List of Keto Friendly Foods

According to a recent American study published in the journal Diabetes Therapy, the keto diet, which favors fat over glucose, is beneficial for type 2 diabetics. But this, accompanied by daily monitoring. Explanations.

More fat, less sugar. Here is the principle of the keto diet. It has been around for almost a century, but was primarily intended for children with epilepsy. An American study, published in the journal Diabetes Therapy, shows how this diet could also be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes.

What is the keto diet?

The rule of the ketogenic diet is simple. Carbohydrates are reduced, in favor of good fats. While our usual diet should be 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and 15% protein, on the keto diet, it is roughly 90% fat, 8% protein, and 2% carbohydrate. Specifically, the recommended foods are those containing monounsaturated fat, such as olive oil, nuts, avocado. But also saturated fat, which can be found for example in high fat dairy products.

Daily monitoring, in addition to the diet

To carry out this study, 349 people with type 2 diabetes participated. Type 2 diabetes occurs in adults and mainly affects people who are obese or overweight.

87 of them received usual care from their dietitians. The other 262 were on a ketogenic diet. At the same time, they were monitored by a doctor remotely, via a mobile application. They could interact with him on a daily basis.

Thanks to this mobile application, patients did not have to go to the office. They recorded their blood sugar levels in the app. Doctors and patients could thus make the necessary adjustments.

A brake on the progression of diabetes:

One year after starting the trial, 83% of patients on the keto diet were still on the diet plan. On average, each patient lost 12% of their weight during the year. 94% of patients on insulin decreased the dosage or stopped treatment, and 60% of them had hemoglobin A1C (a marker of diabetes) below the diabetic threshold.

Health issue:

The researchers are therefore pleased to have paved the way for a program that makes it possible to reverse, and not only manage, type 2 diabetes. The number of type 2 diabetics continues to increase. In question, the aging of the population, an unbalanced diet and a sedentary lifestyle.

In France, more than three million people are diabetics: 90% of them have type 2 diabetes. Worse still, more than 500,000 French people are diabetics without knowing it.
