Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bad paw" data-source="post: 2609713" data-attributes="member: 573205">This is my point exactly. Low carb is good for keeping complications caused by high blood sugar at bay, But of course, as soon as you start eating carbs again your BGs will go up again. Low carb causes remission in BG levels only, not remission in the root cause of high BGs ie diabetes, with it's malfunctioning beta cellsImagine filling two jugs with water. Then tipping a bag of  sugar into one of them. The one you put the sugar in will test higher for sugar, obviously. Just like the blood of someone with T2 who is eating normal levels of carbs. Once you input sugar(carbs) again, your BGs will go up again. Because you have done nothing to improve the function of the beta cells that can deal with the sugar, low carb will stop working immediately you eat carbs again. Just as drugs to lower blood sugar will also stop working once you stop taking them.However if you reduce the fat on the beta cells which prevents them from doing their job, they will start to work again and lower your blood sugar as they used to do before you became actively diabetic.</blockquote>
