Abstract

In an era of ever-increasing burden of obesity and diabetes, an out-of-the-box thinking is required to challenge the status quo. With dismal results of current nutritional and therapeutic armamentarium, ketogenic diet can provide this opportunity. Ketogenic diet has profound pathophysiological as well as evolutionary basis for it to be used as a tool in diabetes management. Despite progressively accumulating evidence for clinical efficacy and safety, widespread adoption of ketogenic diet remains low due to lack of expertise and standard guidelines.
