Acute effect of an exogenous ketone monoester supplement on appetite and food intake in adults with type 2 diabetes

This study tested whether acute ingestion of an oral ketone monoester supplement affects appetite sensations, prospective food consumption and intake in adults with type 2 diabetes. The abstract reports that acute ingestion did not significantly alter appetite scores. There was a tendency toward lower energy intake at an ad libitum meal 3 hours after ketone ingestion compared with a non-energetic placebo. The abstract states that further research is needed to understand long-term effects of exogenous ketones on energy and macronutrient intake in type 2 diabetes.
