 This systematic review found that both low-energy diets, LEDs, and low-carbohydrate diets, LCDs, can be effective for treating type 2 diabetes, T2D. However, it also showed that there is no difference between the two types of diet when it comes to achieving remission. Both types of diet resulted in similar reductions in body weight and glycated hemoglobin levels, a measure of blood sugar control. Additionally, the review found that the amount of weight loss did not affect the success of the diet. This suggests that the primary factor in achieving remission from T2D may be the amount of calories consumed rather than the source of those calories. This article was authored by Anna P.
