Summary

There is a strong correlation between being overweight, specifically with abdominal fat, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent scientific literature has highlighted the connection between significant weight loss, specifically 15% or more of body weight, and its positive impact on body composition and glycemic profiles. In this study, the focus is on very low carbohydrate ketogenic diets (VLCKDs) as a nutritional strategy for managing excess weight and improving diabetes. Current research is transforming the understanding of T2DM, demonstrating that effective and timely interventions can lead to diabetes remission, including a partial recovery of insulin secretion and function.

However, the daily life of a diabetic patient in a clinical setting may not always mirror that of a patient participating in a study, who receives planned follow-up visits and close supervision. To address this discrepancy, this study aims to analyze a cohort of patient records with T2DM and overweight who have adopted a VLCKD, specifically through the PnK® Method, in a private diabetology practice. The goal is to assess the impact of VLCKD on glycemic control in real-life scenarios.

VLCKD

The analysis will focus on the observation of the evolution of anthropometric and clinical parameters,such as the improvement or normalization of HbA1c, as well as on the evolution of the hypoglycemic medication between patients who accept VLCKD method
