A recent study found that following a low-carb, high-fat diet may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 20%. Previous studies have shown that increased carbohydrate intake raises the risk of diabetes. While low-carb diets may help manage diabetes, they may not prevent it. The study analyzed participants aged 40-69 over two periods and found that those with diets high in fat and low in fiber had a higher risk of diabetes. Researchers suggest a reevaluation of dietary approaches for weight loss and diabetes prevention to consider the quality of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
