[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1643291, member: 380756"] Remember Type 2 diabetes has been around forever. "Low carb" diets are now quite the trend, kinda like "gluten free" for people who don't have the celiac disease. Sales of gluten free foods/products in the US are up 30% this year, and they cost about 30% more. IMO 50g of carbs/meal is pretty low, that's only 200 calories. More important is to lose weight. Statins are not for diabetes, they are to lower a Type 2 diabetic's increased risk of a cardiovascular event. Where I work statins and low dose ACEI's (ie lisinopril) are prescribed to Type 2 diabetics routinely. [/QUOTE]
