[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 279997"] One of several things I observed at last night's Hounslow Diabetes UK meeting, was that there are several standard comments that get repeated, such as eating lots of eggs causes high cholesterol and eating red meat (as an alternative to carbs) is bad for your heart. But one that was repeated 3 times by the host last night was.. [b]Diabetes is a progressive disease[/b] This was also followed by ; 1) an assertion that foot complications were inevitable if you lived long enough. 2) a low carb diet might not be suitable if you're on tablets or insulin. I really wanted to challenge the assertion of the progressive argument, but didn't really know where to start. Surely if my HBA1C is low enough then I can reverse insulin resistance and halt beta cell depletion. If I do that then what, exactly, is progressing? So in the interest of building up a knowledge base of standard responses to these standard criticisms, can we start with "Diabetes is [u]NOT[/u] a progressive disease, because..." [/QUOTE]
