This was posted 2 days ago on the diet forum I frequent: Actually, I stopped taking Metformin last Thursday since the only carbs I'm eating are veggies and a little fruit. Probably shouldn't have done that without talking to my doctor. Every time someone with type 2 diabetes shows up on the forum and adopts the paleo diet, we see a post like this a week or two later. It's completely reliable. Eat a strict paleolithic diet and your type 2 diabetes will go into complete remission in one to two weeks. Yet, there are around 25 million people in the U.S. with type 2 diabetes. Those cases cost $116 billion in health care costs every year. Even when a dietary solution is suggested, it's usually a "heart healthy" diet that's ineffective for diabetes. The problem with our health care system isn't that there isn't enough of it. The problem is that our health care system chooses the wrong solutions. Statistics on diabetes: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/DM/PUBS/statistics/ |

Just to show this is a pretty regular occurrence, here's another person with a similar story from earlier today: http://cavemanforum.com/diet-and-nutrition/interesting-blood-sugar-test-results/msg61312/#msg61312 Edited at 2011-12-30 06:23 am (UTC) |
