Participate in a nutrition study at the University of Alberta investigating the health beneficial effects of a healthy KETO diet supplemented with Canola oil, compared to a traditional Keto Diet and low-fat diet in adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes.
Participants will be randomized to one of these three diets and will receive nutrition counselling during 6 months.

Low-carbohydrate diets, including ketogenic diet (KETO) are gaining interest as a treatment for type 2 diabetes because they are believed to help manage blood sugar and weight. However, KETO is often high in saturated fats. Compared with a traditional KETO, we want to test the feasibility of substituting healthier fats such as canola oil to improve cardiovascular risk factors.

Canola oil is low in saturated fat. Therefore, utilizing canola oil in a KETO diet may improve its health benefits in people with high risk of / living with type 2 diabetes. The goal of our research is to compare consuming a KETO based on either canola oil or saturated fat to a lower fat diet typically recommended for diabetes for 6 months on blood sugar, factors related to the immune system, and other outcomes.

KETO-IM is an exciting study happening at the University of Alberta. Joining this study is entirely voluntary.
