Diabetes Health in The News: US dietary guidelines recommend low carb approach for people with diabetes
Are you just a bit too sweet?
According to the American Diabetes Association, a diet that is low in carbohydrates is best for most people with diabetes. Their 2019 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes explain that eating fewer carbs often results in lowered blood-glucose. In some cases, this can even lead to a remission of type 2 diabetes. And while there’s no guarantee that you’ll be quite that lucky, it’s a good idea to focus your diet around nutrient-dense foods regardless.
The ADA has been at the forefront of developing diabetes care standards for more than two decades and many doctors find their input critical to best help their patients. They recommend placing an emphasis on vegetables and getting some exercise as often as possible as a great way to manage the disease. With that said, always consult with your doctor about any diet changes you want to make.
Been doing low carb for over ten years and met a huge amount of resistance, and abuse, from Diabetes UK, Doctors and Nurses. Just shows how brainwashed they were but low carb with exercise is the very obvious answer.
