Current Advances and Future Prospects in the Use of a Low-Carbohydrate Diet in Managing People with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials

Le résumé fourni par la source

BACKGROUND: There is a worldwide increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, and strategies for managing this condition include dietary interventions. These interventions include the use of a low-glycaemic index diet, high-fibre and prebiotic diets, and low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs), which improve glycaemic control, reduce the risk of diabetic complications, and promote health. However, the definition of LCDs varies across the literature, and the use of LCDs in managing people with diabetes is often seen as controversial. Therefore, the aim of this review is to examine current advances and future prospects in the use of LCDs in managing people with type 2 diabetes. METHOD: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials, which applied both the PRISMA and PICOS frameworks. Databases including MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, APA PsycArticles, and Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection were searched through EBSCOHost. The EMBASE database and reference list of articles were also searched for articles of interest. Two researchers conducted the searches independently from database inception to 28 August 2025. However, based on the inclusion criteria, the year of publication of studies was restricted to articles published from 2021. The search terms were combined using Boolean operators (AND/OR), and duplicates were removed in EndNote. The articles were screened for eligibility based on inclusion and exclusion criteria by two researchers. RESULTS: > 0.05) effect on lipid parameters compared to a control diet. CONCLUSION: > 0.05) effect on lipid parameters compared to a control diet.
