Abstract

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently released the "Standards of Care in Diabetes-2025 (SoC-25)". The ADA has continued to recommend low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) for diabetes care for 6 years. Authors have established Japan LCD Promotion Association (JLCDPA) and continued medical, social and ecological development for LCD prevalence. We have seen great success using LCDs in diabetes patients. Long-term data are limited, but we recorded great glycemic control for almost 2 decades. LCDs are effective at maintaining great glycemic control, reducing polypharmacy, adverse outcomes, and medical care costs. Some perspectives are presented concerning SoC-25 and movement of LCD so far.
