I am pleased the Ancell Keyes diet/heart hypothesis works for you and you are not obese on a low fat diet and your diabetes is controlled. Some time you must explain to us how it works and the results you get. I think personal experience is important. D.It's quite funny reading the advocates of 'one size fits all' at times, as my experience is much the same as the study that's being so readily dismissed out of hand.
@bulkbiker,
Here's one study which draws a correlation between dietary fat and insulin resistance in T1D's. I'd imagine the findings of the study would be applicable to an insulin treated T2D as well?

I think maybe it's because they are trying to find a reason why we are in the midst of what seams to be an epidemic of T2 diabetes when the vast majority of the population seem to be following your example and eating mainstream.
Mainstream obviously does not seem to work for many.

Why, I'm not overly fussy how it works.
I don't feel I need to justify it to myself everday, let alone try to convince others.
I'm not that insecure over what I eat, I simply eat this way because it works, without needing to find someone to prove it does to me.
Try it, or not, I'm not overly worried to be honest, but, I'm not going to simply not say it because others can find a guru on the internet that says mainstream eating can't work, as it's not on the 'one size' alternative plan.
Don't be coy about your mainstrem method Doulas I should like to be able to eat baked potatoes again but I might not like putting that revolting low fat, sugar and salt filled yoghurt on them instead of real butter! D.
Yes I know. I'm not saying that eating a block of butter would give an insulin treated diabetic high BG. But it probably would with carbohydrates combined in the food as well.Again, this is looking at diabetics that eat normal carbs plus fat. I just don't see it would have the same results on either zero carbs plus fats or VLC plus fats.
Interestingly, I was very obese before I gave up the junk food.
It's quite funny imagining every one at MacDonald's somehow being approved by the NHS to the eatwell plate.

Now, it is obvious that increasing carbohydrates in the diet increases glucose toxicity and consequently increases insulin resistance, triglycerides level, and reduces HDL-cholesterol. Recently, the ADA departed from the recommendation of high carbohydrates intake and recommended individualization of the nutrition needs. It is clear that we made a major mistake in recommending the increase of carbohydrates load to >40 % of the total caloric intake. This era should come to an end if we seriously want to reduce the obesity and diabetes epidemics. Such a move may also improve diabetes control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, many physicians and dietitians across the nation are still recommending high carbohydrates intake for patients with diabetes, a recommendation that may harm their patients more than benefit them.
It is interesting that this kind of debate has gone on for a long time...

But also good to know that there are at least some from Joslin that agrees low/moderate carbs is helpful

I particularly liked the conclusion...but unfortunately it would take a while for that to filter thru...given the influence of big food and pharma industry...
