A controlled diet high in fat and low in carbs can correct the impact of kidney damage in diabetics, research has demonstrated.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York scientists have discovered that a ketogenic diet can improve kidney damage in mice with type 1 and type 2 diabetes .
The findings highlight the effect of putting half of the mice on such a diet for eight weeks, thereupon the effects of kidney damage were reversed.
The study results emphasise that a dietary intervention alone is adequate to reverse such a serious complication of diabetes .
Even though the study is in its early stages and is yet proved to work for human beings, it may provide steps in helping individuals with obesity treatment and diabetes.
