Effects of a continuous remote care intervention including nutritional ketosis on kidney function and inflammation in adults with type 2 diabetes: a post-hoc latent class trajector... by Shaminie J. Athinarayanan, Caroline G. P. Roberts, Stephen D. Phinney, Thomas Weimbs, Allon N. Friedman, Jeff S. Volek
