The Role of Ketogenic Diet in the Management of Diabetes and Overcome it’s Effect: A Review

Abstract

The ketogenic diet, which is low in carbohydrates, may help diabetic people reduce their medication and improve their glycemia. Obesity and diabetes are two of the most well-known metabolic diseases connected with unfortunate dietary patterns and a stationary way of life. In the direst outcome imaginable, metabolic issues are a contributing reason to a wide range of diseases. The ketogenic diet replaces glucose with ketone bodies and is useful in various conditions, including metabolic disorders, epileptic seizures, peripheral neuropathy, kidney cancer, and skeletal muscle atrophy. Obesity is connected to a higher risk of type two diabetes. In obese people with glucose intolerance, it has been discovered that successful weight management and dietary adjustments, particularly in terms of carbohydrate content and glycemic index, have favorable benefits. We’ve already demonstrated that a ketogenic diet could help you to lose weight. Furthermore, even in hyperlipidemic obese people, it improves cardiac risk factors. For a period of 56 weeks, the effect of low carbs or ketogenic diet was evaluated in patients having obesity with high glucose levels of blood to those with moderate blood glucose levels in this study. In many circumstances, excess insulin treatment and protein limitation slow the onset of diabetic nephropathy, and very few therapies are known to reverse nephropathy. The Keto diet regulates glucose and insulin levels in the body, making it an efficient diabetes treatment. As a result, the keto diet can be used to demonstrate the gap between diabetes treatment and obesity. Obesity is connected to a higher risk diabetes of type 2. In obese people with glucose intolerance, it has been discovered that successful weight management and dietary adjustments, particularly in carbohydrate content and glycemic index, have favorable effects. Diabetic nephropathy was entirely restored after two months of following a ketogenic diet, as measured by albumin/creatinine ratios and stress-induced gene expression. On the other hand, histological evidence of nephropathy was only partially reversed. This shows that diabetic nephropathy can be restored with a relatively straightforward dietary change. It’s still unclear if the ketogenic diet’s beneficial effects are mediated by lower glucose metabolism. Glycemic levels are affected by dietary changes. The low-carb ketogenic diet was found to be quite promising in managing diabetic mellitus in preliminary investigations.
