The ketogenic diet puts your body into a state of ketosis, which ultimately allows you to use fat for energy.

Fat burning is just one of the many benefits of ketosis that improves overall health and makes it an effective tool for weight loss.

Keto has a cult following for a good reason: it makes you feel great. Keto-ers feel more satiated throughout the day and have increased energy levels, both physical and mental, leading to:

Keto diet could benefit the patient though reduction of the glycemic index, reduction of carbohydrate and increase of protein intake. Rather than change the source of energy to fat. Check out this systematic review evaluating the different diets in diabetic control:

https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/97/3/505/4571510

where they found that Low-carbohydrate, low-GI, Mediterranean, and high-protein diets are effective in improving various markers of cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes and should be considered in the overall strategy of diabetes management.

Hope this helps

There is no one size fit answer to questions like this, and I say this because studies is definitely showing that there are short-term benefits of ketogenetic diets in obese diabetics. And I say short-term because most studies are usually not long effect to evaluate acidosis on subjects, another concern is the source of fat and its long-term impact. I would definitely propose that if doing a keto diet would help you reduced your refined carbs consumption and increase healthy fat and protein, then go for it.

There are no enough findings to support this hypothesis ,but in my point of view, I think it is not a good idea to change diet habit completely from carbohydrate to fat,especially among T2DM patients who are taking insulin. As we know that insulin dose is usually set based on the amount of carbohydrate that patient taken in pre-prandial meal.

Not for pateint take insulin i mean in general

There will be a risk of developing keto acidosis. Moreover, some studies showed the impact of ketones on the tumor growth

A ketogenic diet may help patients with type 2 diabetes because it allows the body to maintain glucose levels at a low and healthy level.

The lower intake of carbohydrates in the diet can help to eliminate large spikes in blood sugar, reducing the need for insulin.

Hi,

The response by Dr. Raksha is spot on. The proposed idea (said by fitness trainers and dieticians) behind Keto diet is that, they (fat-rich food) use your body to consume fat for energy, thereby also enhancing the metabolism of deposited fats in the body. SOme Keto diet success stories are testimonial to this idea.

The ketogenic diet can lead to a variety of other benefits including:

reduce the risk of diabetes in people who do not yet have it

improve glycemic control in people with diabetes

help people to lose excess weight
