Message: <blockquote data-quote="TooMuchGlucose" data-source="post: 942934" data-attributes="member: 201513">I watched the video and a lot of what was mentioned appears to be valid.A few correlating factors in relation to the increasing rates of diagnosis of diabetes further strengthen Kraft's ideas;High amounts of carbohydrates, rice a processed carbohydrate is often used in Chinese and South Asian diets (two ethnic groups associated with a higher risk of 'developing' type 2). More carbohydrates, more insulin needed.Coeliac disease is quite common among type 1s (not sure about others) which would also suggest that refined carbohydrates (in this case wheat and other grains ) are part of the problem. This would give further evidence to the idea that carbohydrates are not good for the body. The reduced amount of activity/exercise that people do, much less than even thirty years ago it is known that exercise increases insulin sensitivity, less insulin need means a lower amount of insulin in the body therefore less likely to have hyperinsulinaemia.Sadly this doesn't really seem to give a cause for type 1 it does seem to help manage it. What are your thoughts?</blockquote>
