What is being tested?
The study compares two diets: a medically-supervised ketogenic diet (KDDP) versus a low fat diet (NDPP). Over the course of one year, it will measure their effects on blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, heart rate, weight loss and heart artery health.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the ketogenic diet may include nutrient deficiencies if not properly managed. The low-fat diet could lead to hunger due to reduced calorie intake. Both diets might cause changes in bowel habits.
