[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2108027, member: 401801"] Abdominal fat is a symptom of diabetes, not a cause. And while losing that abdominal fat can impact your insulin sensitivity/resistance, [I]it is not a cure for diabetes[/I]. I lost 25 kilo's and I'm still diabetic, technically. I have to eat low carb because practically all carbs turn to sugar once ingested, and will spike me. So [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] 's question is a good one.
