Clinical Trial Summary

Individuals with prediabetes have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of combination of ketogenic diet and aerobic exercise interventions versus ketogenic diet alone on the glucose level in prediabetes female with normal weight.

Clinical Trial Description

Pre-diabetes is the preceding condition of diabetes, where the blood sugar level is higher than normal but lower than the diagnostic criteria of type II diabetes and in most of the cases, this ultimately leads to the development type II diabetes. It has been estimated that the number of pre-diabetic cases will increase to more than 470 million people worldwide, and this is understandably a worrying trend . Many studies have been done on diabetes patients. However, little is known about the pre-diabetic conditions.

Diagnosed Prediabetes was stated as any participants who did not have diabetes but who had fasting plasma glucose level of 100 - 125 mg/dL, an HbA1c level of 5.7% - 6.4%, or 2-hour plasma glucose level of 140 - 199 mg/dL.

Treatment of pre-diabetes and prevention of the development of pre-diabetes to T2DM,through lifestyle intervention mainly includes nutritious dietary and exercises.

Combining a ketogenic diet with exercise is a powerful way to reducing insulin resistance, control blood glucose levels and achieve weight loss. As ketogenic diets are nowadays predictable as being useful, there is presently a shortage of research studies examining just how useful the combination of exercise and a ketogenic diet ;
