[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2032585, member: 460354"] I can only speak from my own experience. At diagnosis I had symptoms. Blurry vision, thrush, dry mouth, IBS, constant unrelenting heartburn in the weeks prior to dx. I could have accepted meds which may have helped, for a while, but my hba1c would have gone up due to the eat well advice. My meter confirms that. The higher the carbs, the higher the meter reading, the higher the estimated hba1c goes in the mysugr app. The higher the hba1c the more chance of complications. The evidence for that is well documented. I see it first hand at the diabetic meeting. Also when I did my clinic at the GP surgery (helping other diabetics) the first person I spoke to had just had a lower leg amputation. That really hit home! My symptoms would no doubt have returned and maybe others too, who knows. But using my meter and starting a lc woe my hba1c has gone down to non diabetic levels. My symptoms have ALL disappeared. I've lost 4 stone which has to be beneficial to every aspect of my health and wellbeing. As for long term effects, I see many many people eating this way for 20 years plus. On this forum, internet. And a prime example of someone even longer than that maintaining their health is Dr Bernstein. I dont feel cutting out/down on bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and upping healthy fat intake is bad from my research. It seems that it isn't just beneficial for diabetics either. I do feel eating processed food rubbish stuff, carby ****, my health and wellbeing would have been threatened. I'm allergic to sugar so avoiding agravating that allergy as best I can. I have many non diabetic friends who are having great success with weight loss through LC too. They are looking and feeling fantastic. I would be interested to know how many haven't had success with it too. Its not for everyone as you say. [/QUOTE]
