There are answers, and life isn't dark and dismal. Type 2 diabetes does not have to be a progressive chronic disease. With effective, lifestyle changes, knowing what to change and how to change it, people can greatly reduce the risks of complications, reduce the need for medication, and can even lead to diabetes remission.
The documentary, aired on the BBC at primetime, failed to look at dietary changes, and instead talked about calorie reduction, and how people struggle to adhere to small-portion diets, rather than changing to more sustainable, low GI changes.
After six months of sticking to the Low Carb Program, people lose an average of 12kg and improve HbA1c by 1.1%, just by making changes that reduce their glucose intake.
Diabetes, no matter what type, doesn't have to be a secret killer. |
