Implementing a low-carbohydrate diet may help lower fasting plasma glucose levels in individuals with prediabetes or untreated diabetes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The low-carbohydrate diet intervention group had significantly greater 6-month reductions in fasting plasma glucose (-10.3 mg/dL; 95% CI, -15.6 to -4.9 mg/dL; P < .001).
