[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1507989, member: 93504"] Hello [USER=387003]@april29[/USER] , I'll give it a go, but can I make it clear that I am talking about type 2 diabetes. - How effective do you believe the ketogenic diet is in treating Diabetes? [INDENT]Extremely effective. It can reverse type 2, by which I mean that blood sugars will normalise and "complications" will regress or even go away. Side effects (eg thirst, tiredness) will stop.[/INDENT] - What are the advantages/positive of the ketogenic diet? [INDENT]It requires no drugs, will do you no harm, does not require prescriptions, supervision or medical appointments and can reverse other issues such raised blood pressure, excess weight.[/INDENT] - What are the disadvantages/side effects of the ketogenic diet? [INDENT]Requires home cooking and can be difficult if you have to stay away in hotels, for example.[/INDENT] - How easy/difficult is it to make a lifestyle change to follow the ketogenic diet? [INDENT]This depends on you. We were/are semi retired (so have time to cook), can afford to experiment with food, only have ourselves to consider and are both capable cooks, so, for us, it was easy. For working families on a tight budget, it could be difficult, especially if the will to succeed isn't there.[/INDENT] - What is your personal opinion on using medication or diet to treat Diabetes? [INDENT]No drug is without side effects and many drugs are not as effective as they are made out to be. The correct diet works and it won't cause other problems. For us, there is no contest, healthy, low carb (ketogenic) diet every time. I would also add that eating a low carb diet will reduce the burden on the NHS, both by improving health and by not incurring outgoings on drugs and treatments. In my view, diet should be THE treatment for T2 diabetes.[/INDENT] Sally [/QUOTE]
