Abstract

A 59-year-old patient with an 18-year history of type II diabetes showed remarkable improvements in glucose tolerance tests and improved fasting hepatic glucose production with systemic deuterium depletion. Deuterium, which is known to reduce the effectiveness of ATP synthesis nanomotors, is most likely to blame for systemic variations in insulin and hepatic glucose production in the pancreas and liver, respectively. Low carbohydrate (keto) diets with deuterium-depleted water can cause systemic deuterium depletion.
