This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of low-carbohydrate diets and low-fat diets on glucose control, body weight loss, cardiovascular risk, and renal safety for type 2 diabetes management.
- "We found that treatment with LCDs achieved more effective improvements in glycemic and body weight control, as well as the concentrations of TG and HDL-C...
"...Our study proved that a more favourable effect of LCDs on HbA1c and TG levels could persist up to 1.5 years. The result of HDL-C concentration suggested a longer-term effectiveness of LCDs, which lasted for 2 years...
"...In terms of body weight loss, carbohydrate restriction more clearly improved this outcome in the short and medium terms up to 6–8 months, but the difference attenuated in 1–1.5 years and disappeared after 2 years...
"...However, there is no significant superiority of LCDs in improving TC and LDL-C levels, neither SBP nor DBP. In contrast to LFDs, LCDs had no statistical difference in serum creatinine."
