A continuous care model combining nutritional ketosis (<30g carbohydrates/day) with remote biometric monitoring and medication management significantly improves glycemic control, reduces body weight, and allows for the reduction or elimination of type 2 diabetes medications in adults with T2D over a 1-year period.
To manage Type 2 Diabetes effectively, consider a structured low-carbohydrate approach (under 30g carbs/day) combined with regular monitoring of blood glucose and ketones. Work with a healthcare provider to safely adjust diabetes medications as your numbers improve. Focus on eating enough protein and healthy fats to feel satisfied, and ensure you are getting essential nutrients through supplementation if needed. This approach has been shown to improve blood sugar control, promote weight loss, and reduce the need for diabetes medications over time.
These results demonstrate that a novel metabolic and continuous remote care model can support adults with T2D to safely improve HbA1c, weight, and other biomarkers while reducing diabetes medication use.
Why this rating
The study is an open-label, non-randomized, controlled before-and-after study, which introduces selection bias and lack of blinding, though the sample size is large (n=262).

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
