[QUOTE="uart, post: 814194, member: 41696"] 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, "[I]he'd have hypos all the time[/I]". 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. [/QUOTE]
