LCD was associated with lower carbohydrate consumption and rapidly acting insulin dose.
A low-carb diet may reduce the need for insulin in managing type 1 diabetes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Carbohydrate consumption and rapidly acting insulin dose were low ( P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively) during LCD.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized cross-over study design.
