[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 92263, member: 15487"] Kettlebells, you are absolutely right that many people find it difficult to stay on a low-carbohydrate diets. But there are also many pre-diabetics and diabetics who find a way to adhere to low-carbohydrate regimens for decades. I am one of them (over 20 years now). Such a diet need not, indeed should not, consist only of processed meat and dairy products. High-quality animal protein (fish and seafood, pastured meat, real cheeses) and low-carbohydrate vegetables are both allowed and highly desirable. I’m not quite sure what the statements regarding inflammation refer to, not having seen studies supporting this. As I stated previously, if your diet works for you and others to control blood sugar, more power to you and them. It does not do so for me and for many other pre-diabetics and diabetics. Diabetes is indeed an insidious disease, and my heart goes out to you for the loss of your loved ones who succumbed to its complications. I, too, have the disease on both sides of my family, and lost my poor father to it more than 15 years ago now. But I strongly disagree with the notion that treating diabetes with insulin when clinically indicated results in a worsening of blood sugar control leading inevitably to death, and am unaware of any studies supporting that hypothesis. If you have access to such, please share the citations. Virtually all Type 1 diabetics and a great many Type 2 diabetics who use exogenous insulin would now be dead if it did not exist. It is crucial to their maintenance of continuously normal blood sugars, which is the key to preventing severe diabetic complications. [/QUOTE]
