“I Ignored the American Diabetes Association and the Dietitians”

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

Howard decided to ignore the advice on a high-carb diet to treat his type 2 diabetes. Here's what happened when he instead did the opposite:

The Email

In Nov 2013, my blood sugar went out of wack with an HbA1C of 16%. A friend steered me to your site. I ignored the American Diabetes Association and the dietitians with their high carb, low fat, reduced calorie intake diets. I went on a no sugar minimal carb intake (no grains, potatoes, rice, pasta, etc.). In nine months my HbA1C was down to 5.6% with the side effects of lost 55 pounds (25 kg), triglycerides dropped from 197 to 67 (2.2-0.76 mmol/l), HDL rose from 34 to 76 (0.88-1.96 mmol/l) without meds. My doctor is not a full believer so has put me on one 500 mg Metformin a day. No before, only the after.

Congratulations Howard!
