[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2084078, member: 365308"] I do not think long term studies have been done on those who've reversed their condition via lifestyle rather than drugs but I might be wrong. All the studies do seem to show at least short term improvements in risk markers including blood sugar but also blood pressure, fatty liver, lipids... However your nurses may be aware of the Accord studies (and others done about 10 years ago I think) which noted that despite patients' taking drugs to reduce their high bg levels to normal, they still suffered from heart attacks and strokes as much as the control group who had higher HBA1cs. This shows that the drugs just treat your symptoms oly and that having high levels of insulin is just as toxic as having high levels of glucose. So if you are reducing your insulin levels via low carb, your bgs and insulin will be low so there should be much less risk of CV problems down the line. [/QUOTE]
