[QUOTE="Southport GP, post: 666700, member: 74036"] What is so interesting is that patients just used the diet sheet printed for you in the article -we never mentioned weighing food or calorie counting this was one of the features they like best about the approach -one lady put it very well [B]'a diet is something you are on, with all its weighing and measuring , something you will someday come off. the low carb approach is away of life'[/B] So the great majority[B] [/B]of them stop on the diet because I suspect their diabetes will deteriorate if they go back to carbs. Though as you say weight loss by itself does help type two diabetes but until I started recommending the low carb diet I personally had not had much success in inspiring weight loss that lasted. I have a theory that carbs are addictive which could explain my observation. We continue to check HbA1c levels in them all-partly at their request because I'm told it helps prevent 'carb drift.' Yes a number have come off meds and others have managed to avoid insulin (I should repeat the work was [B]not[/B] on Insulin dependent type one diabetics) [/QUOTE]
