[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2450621, member: 451727"] I'd have thought it was obvious but the point is you will be placing yourself in a position where your body is not having to work hard and then fails anyway to remain as healthy as it can, you would be reducing the risk of horrifying outcomes, amputations, loss of sight, general misery for the rest of your life. It's a similar principle to any condition in my view, you may not be able to avoid getting it, or you may not be able to get rid of it, but (sometimes) you [I]can [/I]minimise any damage it is doing to you. I find it a little odd that you see it in terms of 'there's no point if I can't eat all the carbs I want' especially when it may lead to you being able to tolerate some carbs, who would even want to knowingly eat carbs vastly in excess of their tolerance level knowing the risk. Of course many people do not get those horrible potential complications regardless and I'm not one to promote every single carb as a killer but I am a strong believer that if you do all you can to help your body operate, you end up in a better position than you would have if you threw caution to the wind.
