Low carb vs low fat for Type II diabetes
Diabetes can be utterly destructive and many just think taking pills that a doctor gives you will sort the problem. It does not!! It only treats the symptoms and does nothing to sort out the disease.
Have a listen to this two-part podcast that talks about the research into low carbohydrate and low fat diets in the management of type II diabetes. In part 2 of the podcast, it discusses more on nutritional advice for the management of type II diabetes.
How a read and empower yourself with the knowledge it gives you to either help yourself to offer advice to someone in need.
Diabetes can be utterly destructive and many just think taking pills that a doctor gives you will sort the problem. It does not!! It only treats the symptoms and does nothing to sort out the disease.
Some of the management of this massively difficult problem is about the need to change and adapt dietary choices, but it is also important to make good lifestyle choices such as taking regular exercise, improving the amount and quality of sleep you get and managing one’s level of stress.

Diabetes ….. the way to reverse Type II
In Michael Mosleys’ book ‘The 8-week blood sugar diet’, he states “Now we have completed careful studies which have shown that people who REALLY want to get rid of their type II diabetes can, in just 8 weeks, lose substantial amounts of weight and return blood sugar to normal or near normal. They remain free of diabetes provided they keep their weight off”.
Prof Roy Taylor and Newcastle University have published a recent paper on Diabetes. The team showed that Type 2 diabetes could be reversed even in people who had the condition for 10 or more years.
See the paper’s breakdown here.

The biggest part of what he says is ‘those who really want to’! This is about people taking responsibility for their health and making that difference. Sure, that is super hard to do. But to take control of your diabetes and ‘beating it’ would be a phenomenal thing to achieve. For those that have achieved this, risks to their lives would have been reduced massively!!
