Metabolism of Low Carbohydrate and Ketogenic Diet

This study will assess the preliminary efficacy of a lifestyle intervention including low-carb/ketogenic diet and exercise, enhanced by self-monitoring through health technologies on weight and diabetes outcomes (Glucose, HbA1c) and diabetic complications (cognitive function, and renal function) in a 6-month randomized clinical trial in 60 overweight/obese adults with or without T2D. Renal function will be assessed via both traditional and novel biomarkers, including novel metabolites and mitochondrial function.
