Health-related quality of life, compliance and sustained adherence on a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet compared with a high-carbohydrate low-fat diet in people with type 2 diabetes

Key Points

Health-related quality of life improved in both dietary groups, indicating beneficial effects of dietary interventions.
Dietary compliance was linked to enhanced health-related quality of life, emphasizing its importance in diet adherence.
Observational analysis of two dietary interventions focused on low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) and high-carbohydrate low-fat (HCLF) diets.
Results suggest that dietary adherence may play a key role in achieving better health outcomes for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

HRQoL improved in both dietary intervention groups with no difference between groups. Dietary compliance was associated with improved HRQoL and may play a role in sustained adherence to the LCHF diet. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03068078.
