Message: <blockquote data-quote="Melgar" data-source="post: 2744024" data-attributes="member: 520626">Welcome to the forum [USER=595278]@murrus[/USER] . You have encountered the poor advice that’s been delved out to T2 diabetics for too long. Cut back fats, increase carbs. There is a history to that bad advice, but the diabetic world is slowly moving on and more and more health care professional are turning to low carb, high fat diets as a means of reducing blood sugars in T2s. As [USER=585131]@Chris24Main[/USER] states, the key is to reduce your insulin secretion. Lowering your carbs, lowers your pancreas’ insulin response. When your body has too much insulin sloshing around, there is a cascade of bodily responses that induce a process that causes the body to become insulin insensitive. That means that your body cannot use insulin effectively. Two things come out of that - rising blood sugars, because your pancreas can only produce so much insulin, and weight gain, because your body has to store all that excess energy somewhere. Reducing carbs reduces your body’s response to it. Many members here go on a low carb high fat eat regime with a lot of success. Take a look at some of the low carb forums here. Also There is a success story forum with inspirational stories where members have shared their success Ian reducing their blood sugars and going into remission.</blockquote>
