Type 2 diabetes is a condition that impacts blood sugar control. A person can manage the condition by following a healthful diet and maintaining healthy body weight.
The keto diet, high in fat and low in carbs, can potentially change the way your body stores and uses energy, which in turn, eases diabetes symptoms.
The ketogenic diet severely restricts carbohydrates. It forces the body to break down fats for energy. It also allows the body to maintain glucose levels at a low but healthy level. Which might help some people with type 2 diabetes.
The body of a person who is following a keto diet has shown potent weight loss effects and also help to lower blood glucose levels and reduce people’s reliance on diabetic medications. But with every diet change comes an adaptation period.
In keto diet, the body has to switch its fuel source from glucose to fat. During this period it’s common to experience some side effects called keto-flu.
The ketogenic diet may improve blood glucose levels while also reducing the need for insulin. However, the diet does come with risks. Be sure to consult with your doctors before making the diet changes.
