"In the low-carbohydrate diet, 50 percent of the energy came from fat, 20 percent from carbohydrates, and 30 percent from protein. For the low-fat group the distribution was 30 percent from fat, 55-60 percent from carbohydrates, and 10-15 percent from protein, which corresponds to the diet recommended by the Swedish National Food Agency."

"In both groups, the participants lost approximately 4 kg on average. In addition, a clear improvement in the glycaemic control was seen in the low-carbohydrate group after six months.
Their average blood sugar level dropped from 58.5 to 53.7 mmol/mol (the unit for average blood glucose). This means that the intensity of the treatment for diabetes could also be reduced, and the amounts of insulin were lowered by 30percent."
