Very low carbohydrate diet versus standard diet for type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares a very low carbohydrate diet to a regular diet to see how well blood sugar control works for adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help you understand which eating pattern is easier and safer for managing daily glucose with modern diabetes technology.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes for at least 1 year
- You are age 18 to 40
- You have a BMI between 18.5 and 35
- Your diabetes control is fairly stable (HbA1c 6.5% to 9%)
- You use both a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump
- You had at least one diabetes care visit in the last 12 months (can be virtual)

This study tests whether very low-carbohydrate diets change glucagon response in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how diet affects blood-sugar control in people using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.
This study tests whether a “ketosis” state changes brain function in adults with type 1 diabetes. You may be asked to follow specific diet/food delivery plans and use devices that track glucose, which could help researchers understand how metabolism affects the brain.
This study looks at how carbohydrate intake may affect how well insulin-producing cells work and how stable your blood sugar becomes in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. It may help families learn dietary steps that improve glucose control early on.
This study tests if a very low-carb (ketogenic) diet is safe and helps control blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes. You would follow the diet for a period and use a continuous glucose monitor to track your levels.
This study compares different ways of eating carbohydrates to see which pattern helps people with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. If you have type 1 diabetes and are on insulin, this trial might help you find an eating approach that improves your glucose control.
This study tests a very low-energy ketogenic diet (a special low-carb, low-calorie diet) in adults with type 1 diabetes and obesity who use an automated insulin pump. It aims to see if this diet helps with weight loss and blood sugar control.
