Study Summary
Despite strong evidence that tight control of blood sugar reduces the risk of diabetes complications, most people with type 1 diabetes do not achieve recommended blood sugar targets. This randomized controlled trial will test whether a very-low- carbohydrate ketogenic diet can effectively and safely improve blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes.
