canuck1950 said:For people with conditions associated with insulin resistance, a low-carb diet is an alternative to the current approach of high-carb plus meds. I don't see how making this statement is construed as "promoting" a low-carb diet in violation of the forum rules - please clarify.
Hi canuck1950,
I wonder if you could clarify something here, on your blog you state the following:
''If you do a proper low-carb diet you can get off your medications''.
Now we have low-carbers on here and also there was a forum set up specifically for those that low carbed which has recently closed down temporarily, most of these members have followed a low-carb diet for years with great success following diets by the likes of Atkins and Bernstein, all claim that they are now getting numbers of non-diabetics which to my mind is fantastic.
Now the problem is that although they achieve great success you will find many are on diabetes medication and a few were using or contemplating using insulin to keep their control tight, some are on bp meds also along with cholesterol lowering drugs, so given what you have said about ''If you follow a proper low-carb diet you can get off medications''.... are you implying then that they are all doing something wrong after all this time bearing in mind what I have said about them achieving non-diabetic numbers?
Regards
Nigel
