Our research group has developed diets we refer to as Low Biologically Available Glucose (LoBAG) diets. These diets, in short-term studies (5–10 weeks), result in a decrease in glycated hemoglobin that is similar to or greater than that typically obtained with oral medications in patients with type 2 diabetes (1–3). The diet is lower in carbohydrates (CHOs) and higher in protein and fat than that recommended by the American Heart Association (4) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (5). It is not ketogenic and does not require weight loss. The diets are designated by the CHO content, which is given as a subscript; for example, if the CHO content is 30% of food energy, the diet would be termed as a LoBAG30 diet.
