[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2353025, member: 403497"] Fat has been shown to cause insulin resistant effects when given on its own so the potential exists. Adding carbohydrate to the mix may then highlight that effect. I personally do not hold to the idea that carbohydrate in a complex form are bad as such but with a condition like type 2 diabetes where glucose metabolism is impaired then reducing carbohydrate is a common sense approach. This will help cope with the condition better and low carbohydrate diets may help lose weight via a calorie deficit which can help improve the condition (possibly reverse it). The weight loss evoked by low carbohydrate in turn improves blood sugars and may offset potential increases in LDL cholesterol caused by any increases in dietary saturated fat. Whether high levels of LDL are an issue for health is still a hot debate. [/QUOTE]
