Day after day we tell our at-risk patients to lower their carbohydrate consumption to help avoid diabetes. Our thought process is to reduce the workload on the pancreas and decrease insulin resistance. However, this may not be the most important reason to reduce carbohydrates.

We have moved our newsletters to a new server in order to provide you with a more robust experience. Please make sure to add news@mail.diabetesincontrol.com to your contacts/whitelist so you don’t miss a single issue.

Things were going well — she would visit every three months and we would reassess and make treatment decision changes as needed. Then, my patient did not visit for two years. When she returned, she had gained back her weight plus a few more pounds, and her blood glucose, blood pressure and lipids were out of her target range….

Excess Carbohydrates Can Result in Diabetes
Research has shown that carbohydrates and other foods that raise the body’s dietary inflammatory index (DII) can lead to severe diabetes.

Achieving Glycemic Control With Targeted Insulin-Adherence Interventions
Reasonable glycemic control can be achieved by delivering aggressive insulin-adherence interventions to targeted patients with diabetes.

Quality of Dietary Fats And Cardiovascular Mortality
