Association between low-carbohydrate diets and continuous glucose monitoring-derived time in ranges.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Low-carbohydrate diets have become popular in the general community. The mutual relationship between the percentage of total energy intake from carbohydrates (CHO/E), glycemic control indices, and diabetes complications remains unclear.

Materials and methods

This cross-sectional study included 177 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who regularly visited outpatient clinics. In this study, dietary questionnaires were used to assess the intake ratio of the three macronutrients, and the low-carbohydrate-diet score was calculated. We investigated the association between the low-carbohydrate-diet score, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived short-term glycemic control indices, and diabetes complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
