LOW CARB/ DAS is THE BEST SOLUTION for DIABETES?

What is Diabetes?

There are 2 types of Diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes: is caused by the body not secreting enough insulin to pull back to a stable blood sugar after eating carbohydrates.
Type 2 Diabetes: is caused by the body secreting too much insulin, in a long time, constantly causing disturbances -> the body resists to insulin -> do not reduce the blood sugar -> hypertension -> death.

In brief summary, diabetes is directly related to carbohydrates. Since carbohydrate is the only cause of high blood sugar level and the patients have to use the insulin to reduce it.

Because the meal we eat everyday is still having carb so the Diabetes patients have to use medicine or inject Insulin in the body. However, if you use those medicines in a long time, it will effect your health in a bad way (kidney failure and other complications) (*)

In summary, the usual treatment only makes diabetics try their best to exists, not radical treatment.

What is the best Solution for Diabetics?

The best solution for diabetes patients is following the Low Carb method. Because according to the scientific documents, published here [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] showed that Low Carb is very effective in treating diabetes.

Even ADA - American Diabetes Association used to against Low Carb very strong before, saying it is bad, but now when facing of a lot of scientific documents have proven Low Carb very effective in treating diabetes, they (ADA) has been forced to recognize Low Carb as one diet therapies for patients with diabetes. [6]

In US, there is one Treating Diabetes with Low Carb book (has been published long time ago) of Richard K. Bernstein – who is regarded as one of the world's leading experts in the treatment of diabetes. [7].

Low Carb / DAS has the following advantages when treating diabetes:

_ Removing Carb and replace it with Fat. It will make your blood sugar stable immediately without any medicine.

- Healthy and refreshing body, mental clarity because the body is supplied with full nutrients from the Fat and Protein.

- Do not have to worry about the side effects of diabetes medicine. Reduce the money burden for patients

_ Because Carb is cut out of meals so your blood sugar will be stable, after a period of treatment, your body will no longer be resistant to insulin, patients can eat Carb (again) gradually and return to normal life (of course, not too much Carb), or follow the eDAS method with “Low Carb days alternating with High Carb days”

Author Notes: As I mentioned in the previous post, I have asked DR Anh about some Document when he said LOW CARB/DAS can CURE the DIABETES. So I have read and sum up in this post. He also sent me some links for references so you guys can check them out. For me, I will try to explain to my parent and convince them to follow DAS. Till now my parent still dont't believe that cutting carb and eat more fat will make them healthy. How about you guys? Do you think that LOW CARB and DAS is the best solution for DIABECTICS?
