This is from 2006! They want you to suffer!
It’s certainly worth a try!! (But what if you stopped buying all their expensive medications??!)
Insulin and a lifelong tether to the pharmacy aren’t “too restrictive”?
It absolutely works and it is definitely too hard, been doing it off and on for years. Now that I am winding down I have started eating the carbs that I enjoy. When I was in school I didn't know there was any food except beans and fried potatoes, still love them today besides they require little masticating.
Wish I could stick with no carb but steak has begun to taste like liver and $15.00 a pound for ribeye disgusts me anyway.
They don’t want anyone to try anything that doesn’t involve prescription drugs.
Dr Sarah Hallberg (so) IU health -’Arnett has many patients that are off insulin using her diet. She’s on you tube and Facebook.
Basically
NO white potato
NO grain (lots of recipes using other ingredients)
NO man made sugars. Use honey, stevia and maple sugars.
The belly fat is the first to go.
She explains how the government diet has messed our weight and health up in several of her videos.
My sugar level went from 8+ to 6.9 in four months Lost 20 pounds
I am forced to drink Michelob Ultra when dining out. Fortunately, rum and Diet Pepsi has no carbs.
They don’t want you to suffer. They just understand that a diet most people can’t stick to is limited in its effectiveness.
ADA does not recommend very low-carb diets because patients find them too restrictive.
I hate these people. I have been on low carbs (less than 20 grams a day) for 7 months. lost 50 lbs. after 3 or 4 days it is not hard at all since you have retrained your body to use your stored fat instead of wanting glucose (carbs). Eating carbs spikes your sugar, makes you dump in insulin into your blood, crashing the sugar level, making you hungry. It is a cycle that is difficult to control and has resulted in millions and millions of obese diabetics. Good for business. Try a KETO diet for two weeks, do your own research on your own body, or continue to trust people who’s plan has resulted in total failure. Your choice.
The American Diabetes Association previously recommended 135 grams of carbs per day. This is insanity. Low carbs is the only way to reduce the incidence and severity of complications.
Drink lots of water, low-carb diets work but can be rough on the kidneys. Also, watch the diet soda as it can contribute to kidney stones.
It doesn’t have to be no carb, just low carb.
I never was much of a sweets eater. I’ve always preferred salty snacks. That was until I was told I was “pre-diabetic” and now I crave chocolate more than ever!
I do find I can substitute veggies for rice or pasta and go lighter on breads with meals and I have managed to keep my A1C in check. Potato chips are still my downfall.

AMA quackery abounds.
Meanwhile, ketogenic diets stop the damage from Type II diabetes, and supplementation with chromium and vanadium completely kills the diabetes II cash cow permanently.
Don’t buy your doctor a new Mercedes or airplane!

As a Type I, going keto is a delicate balance but your sugar levels will stay low as hell.
“Insulin and a lifelong tether to the pharmacy arent too restrictive?
I see your point, but “you can’t eat that” is a different type of restriction.
People for whom something is easy sometimes assume that it is equally easy for everyone, and that is not always true. There are people who cannot say “no” to the dessert cart for the rest of their lives, even if it means an early death.
When I was young and healthy enough to lose weight, I only succeeded because I gave myself one cheat per week: cheeseburger, fries, coke, banana split.
Because it was permitted rather than a failure, I could get right back on the regime for another week.
Of all the people who resolve to stay on any restrictive diet for the rest of their lives...well, I’d bet most of them slip up at some point. People have a tendency to go Huck Finn when they slip up, and instead of getting up and continuing, they decide to own failure and fall back into their old ways.

Chips are bad news!
They are cooked in non-food oils like canola, and soy.

Have you tried any of the stemcell enhancing products?
Many have been cured of type I using them.
What do they suggest?
