Low-carb diet for type 1 diabetes and obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 whether a ketogenic diet helps people with obesity keep weight off by changing how your body burns energy and controls appetite. You will follow a low-carb, high-fat diet and be monitored for several months.
