7 Ketogenic diet restores exercise benefits for people with high blood sugar, study finds

Researchers at Virginia Tech discovered that a high-fat ketogenic diet can help people with elevated blood sugar regain the ability to benefit from exercise, particularly improved oxygen utilization. In mice with hyperglycemia, the keto diet normalized blood sugar within one week and enhanced muscle responsiveness to aerobic exercise, leading to increased oxidative muscle fibers.

• Mice fed a ketogenic diet saw blood sugar normalize to non-diabetic levels within one week
• The diet caused muscle remodeling, increasing slow-twitch oxidative fibers and aerobic exercise capacity
• Study published February 25, 2026 in Nature Communications
• Led by exercise medicine researcher Sarah Lessard at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute
