Some people with type 2 diabetes may find a low carb diet useful in managing their weight, and this has shown to be effective and reasonably safe, in short term trials. However, like in Type 1 Diabetes studies, there is limited evidence for long term weight management. Often, people find it difficult to stick to very low carb diets (ketogenic) and find a more moderate carbohydrate approach is easier (that is around 130g carb each day).
