According to a 2019 review by the American Diabetes Association, reducing overall carbohydrate intake is strongly linked with improved glycemic control for individuals with diabetes. A therapeutic carbohydrate diet, or therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (TCR), is a medically guided nutritional strategy that systematically reduces carbohydrate intake to manage specific health conditions. This approach distinguishes itself from general low-carb diets by focusing on a therapeutic outcome under professional supervision.
