[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 47596, member: 1338"] Hi Mimi, Well done for getting yourself back on track. I've known some diabetics to get their HBA1C down as low as 5%. I am currently at 5.7 and am aiming for 5.5 for the next one. The only known dangers of a low carb diet are the nasty looks and comments that you get from some health professionals when they realise you have sussed their evil plan to keep your blood sugars high and instead have worked out how to keep them low!! But seriously, the medical profession tells us that the energy requirements of the average person are met with a diet of 50g carbs per day. Then the same medical profession tells us that for a healthy diet we should eat starchy carbs with every meal and have a carb intake of around 230g per day. The same medical profession also can't understand why so many people are becoming obese and/or becoming diabetic. Unfortunately they seem to be so entrenched in this high-carb for everyone nonsense that all the studies that show low-carb to have no long-term problems (and there have been many) are either ignored or dismissed as being flawed, simply because the medical profession won't or can't admit that they might have got it wrong. (There is a very strong suspicion that the medical profession is scared stiff of admitting they were wrong due to the enormous potential to be sued by millions whose health has been wrecked by following their recommendations.) If you want to see the evidence of low-carb long-term success just look at Dr Richard Bernstein who has been treating himself and his patients on low carb diets for some 20+ years with no problems. You might be interested in this link to a Bernstein article on how the high-carb idea started.
