Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neohdiver" data-source="post: 1080004" data-attributes="member: 258692">Are you suggesting that it is not LC that controls blood glucose?  In my experience it is the LC, and only the LC, that is the essential part of the diet for control of blood glucose.The fat content in my diet is high, and I am losing weight, but as someone with diabetes whose primary goal is to control my blood glucose levels by diet - the elevated fat content is a consequence of the two realities that (1) I have to limit my carbohydrate intake, and (2) there are only two calorie sources other than carbohydrates.  It is not kidney-friendly to eat a high protein diet (the other alternative to replace the calories that would otherwise come from carbohydrates).  But high fat isn't (and won't be once I reach my maintenance weight) a dietary goal.  My goals are low carb, and a protein target.  Anything else I eat is just filling the calorie gap.As to what you, or anyone else, want to call the way you eat (or whether you talk about it in the low carb forum) - I don't care.  But you appear to be speaking for me when you assert that "for us" a pure LC diet not control blood glucose levels.  Posting just to clarify that "us" does not include all people with diabetes who are using low carb diets (of whatever flavor) for control of blood glucose levels.</blockquote>
