[QUOTE="Kettlebells, post: 92245, member: 17086"] I am not 100% sold on low-carb diets for all pre-diabetics and type 2 diabetics. I was a diagnosed pre-diabetic for eight years before being diagnosed as a full-blown diabetic. Everything I was told about managing blood sugar did not work for me. All I did was get sicker. I finally adopted a mostly plant-based (flexitarian) diet after listening to a program produced by Dr. Joel Fuhrman and reading one of his book entitled "The End of Diabetes: The Eat to Live Plan to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes." My endocrinologist thought that I was crazy when I told her that I was becoming flexitarian. She no longer thinks that it is a crazy way for a type 2 diabetic to eat. My hbA1C went from routinely being in the upper sixes to low sevens when I was a meat eater to being in the low to mid-fives when I switched to a primarily plant-based diet. I do not know a single meat eating full-blown type 2 diabetic who routinely achieves an hbA1C level in the low to mid-fives, not one. That is non-diabetic range. Not only did my blood glucose numbers improve, my entire blood chemistry improved. At one point, I used to run triglyceride levels in the 350 to 450 range. Now, I never go above 150, and I still eat pasta. The beauty of flexitarian eating is that is an order of magnitude easier for the average person to follow because nothing is excluded. The key factor here is shifting from a being mostly a meat eater to being mostly a plant eater. I lost 50lbs of fat and replaced it with 20lbs of muscle on this diet. [/QUOTE]
