Low-carbohydrate diets are certainly on trend today. And it is for diabetes that such diets have attracted a lot of attention.

In today’s podcast, I look at the history of dietary recommendations for diabetes. I’ll then look at what the scientific evidence says for how effective low-carbohydrate diets are for diabetes compared to other approaches.
