Low-Carb vs. High-Carb Part 2: My Diabetes Diet Battle Continues
By Adam Brown
Tripling my carbs –> 5 fewer hours in-range per day, 64% more insulin (!), & more lessons learned.
I’ve discovered a therapy that:
Keeps my blood sugar in range ~75-95% of the time with a low risk of hypoglycemia;
Uses ~30-65% less insulin;
Cuts my odds of taking the wrong dose of insulin and experiencing severe hypoglycemia;
Requires less time spent on diabetes tasks;
Eliminates lots of diabetes anxiety, frustration, and feelings of failure;
Keeps my blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight in a healthy range;
Counters what I was told at diagnosis, what the average diabetes diet looks like, and what the food environment encourages me to eat.
And it’s only three words: eat fewer carbohydrates.
