LCK = Low carbohydrate diet group. MCCR = Medium carbohydrate, low fat, calorie-restricted, carbohydrate counting diet.

Figure 2.
Change in HbA1c by diet group.
Both panels show individual lines for the course of HbA1c from baseline to 3 months after intervention initiation for each trial participant. The left panel displays this data for the low carbohydrate diet group (mean change −0.6%), while the right presents the data for the moderate carbohydrate diet group (mean change 0%). See text for further discussion.
Figure 3.
Relationship between change in hemoglobin A1c and change in weight.
The figure plots the change in HbA1c vs. the change in weight from baseline to 3 months for each individual (Spearman rank correlations: LCK = 0.45, p = 0.096; MCCR = 0.47, p = 0.055). The LCK group is shown as open circles; the MCCR group is shown as diamonds.
Figure 4.
Change in weight by diet group.
Both panels show individual lines for the course of weight from baseline to 3 months after intervention initiation for each trial participant. The left panel displays this data for the low carbohydrate diet group (mean change −5.5 kg), while the right presents the data for the moderate carbohydrate diet group (mean change −2.6 kg).
Figure 5.
Change in fasting glucose by diet group.
Both panels show individual lines for the course of fasting glucose from baseline to 3 months after intervention initiation for each trial participant. The left panel displays this data for the low carbohydrate diet group (mean change −11.1 mg/dL), while the right presents the data for the moderate carbohydrate diet group (mean change −1.2 mg/dL).
Figure 6.
Change in triglycerides by diet group.
Both panels show individual lines for the course of triglycerides from baseline to 3 months after intervention initiation for each trial participant. The left panel displays this data for the low carbohydrate diet group (mean change −22.3 mg/dL), while the right presents the data for the moderate carbohydrate diet group (mean change −3.9 mg/dL).
