Abstract

Diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition globally, where dietary intervention plays a crucial role in its management. The ketogenic diet, high in fat, moderate in protein and low in carbohydrates, was studied to determine its impact on people with type 2 diabetes. Pertinent research was collected and analysed. Ketogenic diet has positive effects on type 2 diabetes, which can decrease blood sugar, lose weight and improve insulin resistance. However, the ketogenic diet also has some negative effects, which can lead to some side effects, such as hypoglycemia, uneven nutrition, and abnormal gastrointestinal function, due to its special dietary structure. Therefore, when adopting ketogenic diet, the quality and quantity of diet need to be strictly controlled. In conclusion, ketogenic diet has a positive impact in patients afflicted by type 2 diabetes, but attention should be paid to the side effects that may be triggered, and monitoring and adjustment should be carried out to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the diet.
