The effect of a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet versus a low-glycemic index diet on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: The diet lower in carbohydrate led to greater improvements in glycemic control, and more frequent medication reduction/elimination than the low glycemic index diet, and lifestyle modification using low carbohydrate interventions is effective for improving and reversing type 2 diabetes.
