Low-carbohydrate diet in children and young people with type 1 diabetes: A randomized controlled trial with cross-over design
Authors' conclusion
Short-term LCD led to an improvement of glycemic parameters without increasing time in hypoglycemia, disturbing the lipid profile or negatively affecting the quality of life of CYPwD.
