Ketosis

The health benefits of time-restricted eating go beyond weight loss and may be most prominent in patients already with cardiometabolic syndrome at baseline, a speaker reported.

Compared with a low-fat diet, nutritional ketosis with or without exogenous ketones may positively impact self-reported menses for women, restarting or realigning menstrual cycles, according to study results published in PLOS ONE.

Results of a randomized study revealed that adults with obesity assigned to a low-energy diet with low-, medium- or high-carbohydrate intake all achieved ketosis and weight loss without the expected increase in hunger.

Low-energy diets that included up to 130 g per day of carbohydrates still induced weight loss in association with ketosis without the expected increase in hunger among adults with obesity, according to a study published in Obesity.

Fast-acting insulin aspart delivered through a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system provided similar glycemic outcomes as standard insulin aspart for young children with type 1 diabetes, according to study data.

A breath ketone analyzer could be used as a noninvasive way for adults with type 1 diabetes to screen for ketosis, according to findings published in the Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications.

Ketosis, as achieved via ketogenic diet or supplements, may improve cardiometabolic health in patients with CVD, particularly HF, according to a review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Adults with type 2 diabetes and lower levels of osteocalcin may be more likely to experience ketosis compared with those with higher levels, according to findings published in Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews.

Patients with metabolic syndrome who limited their eating to a 10-hour window in addition to statin and antihypertensive medications had reductions in weight, BP, HbA1c and atherogenic lipids, according to a study published in Cell Metabolism.

LOS ANGELES — Adherence to a ketogenic eating plan, with proper medical support, could yield diabetes remission and sustained cardiometabolic improvements in a person with type 2 diabetes, according to a speaker at the World Congress of Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.
