Calorie-restricted low-carbohydrate diet

Calorie-restricted low-carbohydrate diet increases type 2 diabetes remission in humans (Remission: 62.50% versus 35.29%; adjusted OR 4.592, 95% CI 1.276–16.524).

“After multivariate adjustment, the intervention was associated with higher remission rates (odds ratio [OR] = 4.592, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.276-16.524; p = 0.020).”
