New Australian research finds that people with type 2 diabetes control their disease much better on a low-carb diet.
CSIRO: Improved Diabetes Control with New Diet"The research results are ground breaking," Associate Professor Grant Brinkworth, principal research scientist at the CSIRO said.
"Health professionals have been divided over the best dietary approach for managing type 2 diabetes, and the ongoing uncertainty is a hotly debated topic amongst clinicians and researchers.
"The most amazing benefit of the low carbohydrate diet was the reduction in the patient's medication levels, which was more than double the amount than the volunteers following the lifestyle program with the high-carbohydrate diet plan.
"Some of the participants managed to cease their medications altogether, and many described the study as life changing.
The question is, why is anybody still surprised? Should we not already know this by now?
