[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2264302, member: 479176"] I am probably wrong but I suspect that many older people, say over 75, with T2 diabetes are from a protocol where drug dependence was considered the only way to "treat" diabetes. With the low carb diet promoted on this forum I hope to live well beyond my mid-seventies with little or no drug support and with or without any virus. I think more research is needed in to the long term effects of diabetic drugs including insulin. I have heard of research that indicates a long term dependency on drugs can result in an impaired immune system. That, combined with the possible reducing efficiency of our immune systems as we age, could result in a higher than average % of deaths among diabetics with any virus infection. [/QUOTE]
