Low-carbohydrate diets have been shown in some studies to improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of complications in people with type 2 diabetes. However, the evidence on their effectiveness is mixed, and it's important to note that different people may respond differently to different types of diets.



A study you may be referring to, published in the journal "Diabetes Therapy" in 2018, found that a low-carbohydrate diet led to a complete remission of type 2 diabetes in 51% of participants after one year. It was a randomized controlled trial conducted on 120 participants, of which 83 completed the study, those follow a low-carbohydrate diet which consisted of less than 130 grams of carbohydrates per day.

It's important to note that this study was relatively small and of short duration, so more research is needed to confirm these findings and to understand the long-term effects of a low-carbohydrate diet on diabetes remission. Additionally, a low-carb diet may not be appropriate or safe for everyone, and should be done under the guidance of a doctor or a registered dietitian.

It is important to keep in mind that diet is just one aspect of diabetes management, other factors such as physical activity, medication management and regular monitoring by health care professional is also important for those with type 2 diabetes.
