It does though Turtle..Youre type one and you know you have to eat right in watching your intake of carbs and if you are doing this right you can eat certain things in moderation. Up until a few months past I wasn't and made my condition worse. Now that I can regulate what goes in me I can indulge. I'm not going to be gorging out on chocolates but I know that I can have it and I can try out more kinds of foods..I can also understand why women make a big deal about chocolate.

ya cuz once u know the rulez u can break them *headshot*
An A? Thats aiming a bit high for me. I might not make alot of sense and you may well have reason to give up...just that I have no idea what you mean by knowing the rules and breaking them. You and this Bob guy are like a grammatical tag team but I say stalemate. I have no idea what you meant.

If diabetics can have normal blood sugars through diet alone and are taught this, then health officials and pharmaceutical reps will STARVE. This is similiar to Bernstien's The Diabetic Solution but he didn't co write the Atkins Diet. I think this is referring to people with type two.
I get the diet and all. Simply put the more carbs you eat the higher your blood glucose goes and the more insulin you need to move the sugars. Eat low carbs and you have no sugar spikes and less need to use insulin. This means you have to knw how many carbs are in your foods thinking that one unit of insulin for every ten grams of carbs. Its actually pretty easy. One baked potato = 40 grams of carbo. Diabetics are experts at counting calories and carbs but the thing is I know me and anything with the word diet attached to it and it is going to take me time and several steps to understand it all. Following a regimented diet is hard actually.
The mindset of some and this would be to the type two's is that you can keep thinking that you an keep doing what you've been doing and let medicine take care of keeping you alive. Its kind of hard to accept that what your eating might be the reason for having diabetes. Telling people to change their diets is hard, most don't want to because its just easier to add drugs if you can keep your old habits and not have to make difficult changes. It is difficult to imagine a meal without your carbohydrate foods for example.
Its good to know the option is there and the evidence to date seems plausible enough, but I know alot of pple myself included that would just like to count on taking a pill a day. Im impatient for that rather then mucking about any further with a diet plan, but not to say I don't appreciate the article you found.

Yeah, I know. That would be like curing MS. No more $1600/month interferon shots.
Committing to a strict diet regimen is very hard, and, as a type 1, you'd still need insulin anyway, but there are other benefits to eating less processed sugars and more fruits/veggies & whole grain products. But, now I'm sounding like my mom. I must be getting old or something! ;) And, nothing beats a bag of PB M&M's!!
