TOPIC : LOW-CARBOHYDRATE,
KETOGENIC DIET TO TREAT
TYPE 2 DIABETES

2. • The effect of low-
carbohydrate, ketogenic diet
(LCKD) in overweight and
obese patients with type 2
diabetes rather than typical
way with total restriction of
carbohydrate, dozens of
medications and causing
potential unstable effects on
hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar).
ISSUE/
PROBLEM

3. • The research done by a
16 weeks pilot diet
intervention on 28
overweight participants
with type 2 diabetes
problem.
• Participants were allowed
to eat unlimited amount of
low carbohydrate food as
long as they follow the
guidelines and reduction
on diabetes medications
in order to observe the
intervention.
METHODS

4. • The test resulted in
significant improvement of
glycemia , as measured by
fasting glucose among
participants. It also improved
while diabetes medications
were reduced or
discontinued in 17 of the 21
participants and were not
changed in 4 other
participants. Participants also
experienced body weight lost
healthfully.
FINDINGS

5. • LKCD had positive effect on
body weight and also for our
health. Most outstanding
improvement is that the
increasing level of
hemoglobin A despite a
small sample size and short
duration of follow up which
occurred while reducing the
diabetes medications on the
participants.
CONCLUSION

6. • Future research must
further examine the
optimal medication
measurements, focusing
on diabetes and diuretic
agents, in order to avoid
complication of
hypoglycemia and
dehydration. It is
because patients on
diabetes medication
who apply this diet
should be observed
under close supervision.
RECOMMENDATION

7. • Main limitation of this study are its small
sample size, short duration, and lack of
supervisory group. The result of this
study shows the dramatic and consistent
effect on glycemia and such rises issue
of HDL cholestrol and serum LDL, the
capacity of sample size might be the
reason statistical result was not reached.
