In patients with type 2 diabetes, a low-carbohydrate, low-glycemic-index diet had no effect on glycated hemoglobin (HbA2), but led to a reduction in postprandial glucose and C-reactive protein concentrations, according to Canadian researchers. "Neither reducing carbohydrate intake nor reducing glycemic index affected overall glycemic control," lead investigator Dr. Thomas M. S. Wolever
