Millitus diabetes type 2 is a lifelong condition in which there are high levels of blood sugar (glucose). The cause of diabetes by a problem with the way your body makes or uses insulin. There is a need for insulin to transport glucose into cells where it is stored and used later for energy.
Disease in type 2 diabetes, liver, fat and muscle cells do not respond to insulin properly. As a result, the proportion of sugar in the blood does not enter these cells to be stored for energy. Increased fat also makes it difficult for the body to use insulin in the right way.
The study is based on 61 patients who were randomized into two groups, which followed either a diet low in carbohydrates (fats) in the diet or a diet low in fat, Diabetologia, and periodic reports.
In both groups, participants lost about four kilograms on average. Furthermore, it was noted the existence of a clear improvement in the level of sugar in the blood (blood sugar) control in the low-carb group after six months, according to a statement from Linköping.
