Abstract: The low glycemic index diet (LGID) was applied to seventeen patients who had previously been treated with the ketogenic diet (KD) but had demonstrated either partial (n=9) or no (n=8) improvement in seizure control. In 3 out of 8 patients in whom the KD failed, transition to the LGI diet led to reduction in seizure frequency by 30 to 70 %..
