A carbohydrate-reduced high-protein diet improves HbA and liver fat content in weight stable participants with type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial.

Aims/hypothesis: Dietary recommendations for treating type 2 diabetes are unclear but a trend towards recommending a diet reduced in carbohydrate content is acknowledged. We compared a carbohydrate-reduced high-protein (CRHP) diet with an iso-energetic conventional diabetes (CD) diet to elucidate the effects on glycaemic control and selected cardiovascular risk markers during 6 weeks of full food provision of each diet.

Methods: The primary outcome of the study was change in HbA.
