Message: <blockquote data-quote="ianf0ster" data-source="post: 2660278" data-attributes="member: 506169">I can't answer all your question since I'm not a medical scientist.The paper says that a Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction   (low carb/Keto to us) has an almost identical effect on both diabetes, blood pressure and LDL Cholesterol to that of  SGLT2i drugs - the 'flozin s, but with less problematic side effects - no where near as nsty as those of SGLT2i drugs. So it questions why the medical profession chose to use the SGLT2I drugs rather than advising patients to eat low carb.[ATTACH=full]64523[/ATTACH]I don't understand why they add dizziness to the side effects for Low Carb, because that is just Hypotension caused by the combination of Low carb while remaining on the same dose of drugs to reduce blood pressure!Which would you rather risk: Geniturinary infections and increased risk of amputationor Keto Flu and constipation (both of which are easily dealt with without need of anything more than some supplements.I'm fairly confident that some members do both take SGLT2i's and reduce their carbs to some extent.I believe that Oldvatr  now deceased) was one of those.</blockquote>
