Type I diabetes is where the patient is UNABLE to make ANY insulin.
You are discussing type II, where diet does help.
The WSJ article points out that the purpose of the health panels is to find a one size fits all treatment for various common diseases and conditions, but as any doctor knows, every patient deserves to be treated as an individual.
I think that is the problem with some of the posters here, which surprises me. They seem to think that because controlling diet worked for them, that it works for everyone and I also think that they have bought into the government hype that all diabetes is linked to over eating, which is definitely not true.
I don’t know why you pinged me as I pointed out in both post #34 and #41 the FReeper was confusing Type I and Type II.
Thank you for that information I didn’t know the difference, myself and I don’t know what type of diabetes runs in my husband’s family. I just know that they were all very thin.
Exactly.A type one needs carbs but not excessive carbs.
