Low-carb diets are beneficial for diabetics

Washington: Researchers have revealed that a low carb
diet can be beneficial for diabetics.

The Swedish group, led by Dr. Jorgen Vesti Nielsen, had
previously reported on 16 obese patients on a 20-percent
carbohydrate diet over 6 months. After 22 months, patients
continued to show improvement in hemoglobin A1C, a
marker for long-term blood-sugar levels in diabetes.

The paper published today in Nutrition & Metabolism, an
open access journal also reports that seven patients who
immediately switched to a 20-percent carbohydrate diet
from a low-fat diet in the earlier study also showed improvement.

According to Richard Feinman, PhD, editor of Nutrition &
Metabolism, "It is a small study, but it is the longest of its kind
and it shows people coming off medication and improving their
glycemic control."
