A new study has revealed that a low-carbohydrate diet reduces inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes.
According to research at Linkoping University in Sweden, compared with healthy individuals without diabetes, the patients exhibited significantly higher levels of inflammatory markers at baseline but inflammation was significantly reduced in the low-carbohydrate group after 6-months.

The study was published in the journal Diabetologia 2012.
