reasons why keto helps reduce blood sugar with… Number 4. A keto diet reduces your carb intake
When living with diabetes… You should already watch out
for the type of carbohydrates you consume. Dietary carbohydrates can be found in food
in 3 ways: * Sugars
* Starch * And fiber.
The body breaks down most carbs into glucose… and uses it as a source of energy.
However… as a diabetic…. consuming too many carbs can trigger blood glucose to rise…
Even more so if the type of carbohydrate you eat is categorized as sugar.
It is recommended for diabetics to limit their daily carbohydrate count to roughly 500 grams…
And consume primarily fiber-rich carbohydrates. Following a keto diet implies that this
number is significantly reduced… To less than 50 grams of carbs per day.
As a replacement… a keto diet requires to increase your intake of:
* Fat * And protein.
This pushes the body to stop relying so heavily on glucose for energy…
and tap into stored fat instead.
Reducing your carb intake as a diabetic can have a significant impact on your blood glucose.
A study in 115 participants with type-2 diabetes observed that…
Eating a low-carb diet… like keto… could significantly reduce HbA1c.
HbA1c is a measure of your average blood sugar levels over a period of 3 months.
So… if you find yourself triggering your blood sugar by eating too many carbohydrates…
Eating a keto diet may help you adjust your habits…. And regulate your blood sugar.
Number 3. A keto diet supports weight loss
Weight gain and obesity are often a concern for diabetics…
because of the insulin resistance experienced. But going keto can be an efficient way
to reduce weight. A keto diet helps
you lose weight through a variety of ways. First… by reducing your carbohydrates intake….
Which means you eat more: Fat * And protein… to maintain energy.
As a result… not only do you reduce your appetite… As these nutrients make you full more quickly…
But you also activate ketones… which burn stored fat for energy…. including visceral fat.
This makes you lose weight. Experts point out that… losing
even just 5% of your body weight as a diabetic… Can have significant benefits for your health.
And in a study… It has been found that following a keto diet for 6 months…
Can significantly help you lose weight… and improve diabetic markers…
Without triggering hunger. So when it comes to weight…
a low-carb diet like keto can have a significant impact in the short term.
Number 2. Keto reduces the need for insulin Our body uses insulin to properly process glucose.
But if you’re a diabetic… It is common to have a resistance to insulin…
As the insulin hormone can’t properly process the full amount of glucose we feed ourselves with.
This can increase your blood sugar levels.
When starting a keto diet… we’ve seen that the body uses fat for energy…
And this process significantly reduces its dependency on glucose.
By using fat instead of glucose… the body doesn’t have to rely so heavily on insulin.
A study followed 84 participants with type-2 diabetes.
One group consumed a keto diet and ate less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day.
The other consumed a reduced-calorie diet and ate around 500 grams of carbohydrates per day.
After 24 weeks… researchers observed that… Those who consumed a keto diet had better
control over their blood sugar. They also needed less insulin
support through medication. More research also pointed that…
A keto diet can help increase insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes.
And this can have a positive impact on your blood sugar!
Keto can also influence other important markers linked to diabetes…

And Improving blood lipids is beneficial for your blood sugar!
A keto diet can help increase your HDL cholesterol thanks to the high amount of fat consumed.
