Low-carbohydrate diets in East Asians with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Despite the reported success of low-carbohydrate diets in improving glycemic control in the Western countries, no studies have investigated the effects of such diets in Asians. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine the effects of low-carbohydrate diets on glycemic control in East Asian adults.

Materials and methods

We systematically searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from inception to June 28, 2023, to identify randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of low-carbohydrate diets in patients with type 2 diabetes (PROSPERO number CRD 42023453007). The primary outcome was the difference in glycated hemoglobin levels between the low-carbohydrate diet and control groups. The seco
