Why I Think The Low Carbohydrate/Low Insulin Regime Is The Best Approach To The Treatment of Diabetes. By RON RAAB B.EC.

SUMMARY
This article outlines my before and after experience in adopting in 1998 a low carbohydrate/low glycemic index/low insulin/moderate protein/appropriate fat approach to the management of my Type 1, insulin dependent diabetes.
It outlines the rationale and many advantages of this approach, and the contradictions and some of the negative outcomes that are inherent in the high carbohydrate/high insulin approach.
It points out my experience that an insulin pump is not necessary for excellent blood sugars.
It also suggests that, subject to further research, this approach may have an additional benefit in developing countries, where insulin is often prohibitively expensive, as it results in a reduction in insulin needed.
It should be understood that this does not represent the position of any medical organisation with which I work or of which I am a member.
Expert advice should be sought before changes are made to a person treatment regime.
