Ketogenic diet study for type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have had type 1 diabetes for more than one year
- Your recent A1c is between 7.0% and 9.0%
- You use an insulin pump or multiple daily injections, and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)
- You have a smartphone that can connect to a CGM
- You are willing to follow a very low-carb diet and not take diabetes pills (like SGLT2 inhibitors)

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 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.
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 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.
This study tests whether a carefully designed low-carb diet can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better. If you qualify, you'll follow a special meal plan and be monitored for improvements.
