Impact of Keto diet in type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disorder. Its prevalence has been increasing steadily everywhere on the planet. As a result of this increasing trend, it is believed that the number of individuals affected will be doubled within the next decade. Low-carb and ketogenic diets are becoming popular among clinicians and patients, but the appropriateness of reducing carbohydrates intake in obese patients and in patients with diabetes remains debated. Therefore present project was undertaken with specific objective of analyzing effect of keto diet in diabetic patients. A reasonable reduction in weight of patients was seen who were kept on Ketogenic diet. However, it was noticed that Indian dietary habits include significant proportion of carbohydrates and proteins. Thus, a lot of people could not follow it religiously. Also, because of original dietary habits, such diet recommendation is not sustainable for a longer period of time.
