[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1461300, member: 221545"] If there is too much protein in the diet, the kidneys might sustain a little damage...but in a healthy person that would need to be quite a lot of protein. In some one with diabetes and already impaired kidney function, too much protein could certainly cause problems..and some might say that a low carb diet means a lot more protein, but that's not necessarily so at all. I need to be careful not to eat too much protein - so I don't....and neither do most people eating low carb high fat diets. Most importantly, as [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] says, eating high carbs (ie. simple carbs or complex carbs - those with more than say 10g carbohydrate per 100g of product) if one is diabetic WILL cause problems. Bottom line...low carbing reduces blood sugar levels; high blood sugar levels/spikes in blood sugar levels will lead to complications unless you are very, very, very lucky. Low carbing..while keeping a check on content of things like fibre (enough of) and protein (too much of) can only assist someone trying to get their blood sugar down. [/QUOTE]
