Now I'm 65 and take 48 Units of insulin per day, yet my glycosylated hemoglobin is normal at 5.1% and my blood chemistry is also normal: theres no reason why diabetics should develop complications or suffer a shortened life expectancy. Years of self-experimentation taught me what works: eating for the least possible insulin transforms this killer disease into an inconvenience, without the dire consequences expected by the medical profession. By contrast, the low-fat medical prescription worsens the condition so that diabetics lose, on average, 12 years of life. Many end up as purblind amputees on dialysis, yet, incredible as it may seem, these diabetic complications are iatrogenic , meaning they are actually caused by the dietary treatment prescribed for diabetes! I'm not a physician and these are my experiences, not medical advice: your mileage may vary. Enlist an experienced doctor like Dr Richard Bernstein (914) 698-7500 if you experiment. Insulin needs of insulin-dependent diabetics fall so dramatically on low-carbohydrate diets that you could get severe hypoglycemia.Read More
