The short version
This study tests if a low carb diet can control blood sugar raised by pasireotide.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for adults with acromegaly who are starting a drug called pasireotide. It tests a very low carb diet against usual diabetes medicine for high blood sugar.
Where it stands. This trial has not reported results. It measures how much blood sugar levels change after 4 months on the diet or on diabetes medicine. The answer is not in yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: High blood sugar is a known side effect of pasireotide. The study says it happens in 50-70% of cases. Someone in this spot could ask their care team about this study.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean the diet is proven care. A trial is a test, and the study team decides who can join. Being in a trial is not a promise that it will help you. It is not a cure.
