Conquer Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a disease caused by carbohydrate intolerance, meaning the body cannot process carbohydrates normally. Consuming these foods in excess leads to high blood sugar. Over time, diabetic complications occur. Before the invention of insulin in the 1920s, physicians advised diabetics to avoid eating carbohydrates because this intolerance resulted in high blood sugar. In contrast, modern advice is to eat carbohydrates and treat the resulting high blood sugar with medications and insulin. This “eat carb and take medicine” method increases the cost of diabetic care and does nothing to resolve the underlying disease and progression. The logical solution is to follow a low-carb ketogenic diet because it treats type 2 diabetes at the root cause. Avoiding carbs while enjoying foods rich in healthy fats and protein stabilizes blood sugar and reduces and in some cases, eliminates the need for diabetic medication.
