Glucose Control and Vascular Complications in Veterans with Type 2 Diabetes

It's a FReebie that you may have to register - not subscribe - to read the whole article. I only read the abstract so far, but it looks like one more feather in the cap of carbohydrate restriction and exercise as opposed to medical therapy/medicine.

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

. . . but it looks like one more feather in the cap of carbohydrate restriction and exercise as opposed to medical therapy/medicine.

My husband has had Type 2 for over 10 years now, and when he was diagnosed, we all went on the Atkins type diet. Hubby has never had to increase his meds, and consistently keeps his blood sugar between 85-110 no matter what he eats. His doctor is sometimes incredulous that after all these years, he has developed no complications from the disease. His comment to my hubby is always, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!"

IOW, Atkins was right all along.

Many of us start out with Type II that progresses to Type I. This is mostly an hereditary thing and is frequently not associated with any other changes (e.g. obesity).

Medicine is just a way station along the route to the hereditary inevitability.
