Patients With T2D On Carbohydrate-Restricted Diet Show Recovery In Beta-Cell Function, Research Finds

Healio (10/22, Swain) says, “Patients with type 2 diabetes on a carbohydrate-restricted diet showed recovery in beta-cell function, researchers reported.” One investigator said the data “highlight the benefits of a carbohydrate-restricted diet on beta-cell function in the absence of weight loss and the fact that African Americans experience a much greater increase in insulin secretion than European Americans.” The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
