Let me say right upfront that I don't believe this is true. Yet I've heard several people say it to me, including a diabetic/dietary nurse!
The latest incident was just today when I mentioned to someone about my LCHF diet. She immediately replied that her husband (T2 on 40 units of insulin per day) couldn't possibly do that, "he'd have hypos all the time".
Has the thought never entered these people's minds that you can actually reduce your insulin dosage, and that it's not necessarily undesirable to do so?
Anyway I just had to vent that. It's surprising how pervasive this idea seems to be.
