While an estimated 17.9 million in the US alone have been diagnosed with diabetes, nearly one in four (5.7 million) diabetics are unaware that they have the disease.

Clinical studies that have lowered the percentage of dietary carbohydrate and/or the glycerin index of the carbohydrate have consistently shown improvements in glycerin control among individuals with type 2 diabetes [4-8]. While the effect was stronger than medication, the intensive lifestyle group developed diabetes at a rate of 20% after 4 years. This work was supported in part by the Julia Parish Diabetes Research Institute (#253036) and a Grant from the American Heart Association (6119G61915) Eighty-four community volunteers with obesity and type 2 diabetes were randomized to either a low-carbohydrate, photogenic diet (<20 g of carbohydrate daily; LCKD  Read more...

Lifestyle modification using low carbohydrate interventions is effective for improving and reversing type 2 diabetes. This strong bond between dietary carbohydrate and postprandial serum glucose led to the development of medications that block carbohydrate absorption for the treatment of type 2 diabetes [3]. While this study was a treatment trial of individuals with type 2 diabetes, lifestyle modification has been shown to prevent type 2 diabetes in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The present study is the first one to our knowledge to show that diabetes is a risk factor for mortality after hospitalization for an acute exacerbation  Read more...

As of 2009 there are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes. Diabetes and its treatments can cause many complications. This causes glucose to accumulate in the blood, often leading to various complications.

The two groups were well matched in terms of age, body weight, mean interval from diagnosis to study-period, incidence of patients with hypertension, diabetes melts or harelipped, history of cerebrovascular disease and smoking (Table 1). This strong connection between dietary carbohydrate and postprandial serum glucose led to the development of medications that block carbohydrate absorption for the treatment of type 2 diabetes [3]. However, our understanding of pathogenic mechanisms underling atherosclerosis and its complications is still incomplete, since more than half of patients with atherosclerosis do not show classical risk factors, such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, history of smoking  Read more...

The most common of these is diabetes insipidus in which the urine is not sweet (insipidus meaning “without taste” in Latin); it can be caused either by kidney (nephrogenic DI) or pituitary gland (central DI) abuse. The term diabetes, without qualification, usually refers to diabetes mellitus, which is associated with excessive sweet urine (known as “glycosuria”) but there are several rarer conditions also named diabetes. Insulin enables cells to absorb glucose in order to turn it into energy.

s/)often referred to simply as diabetesis a condition in which the body does not produce enough, or properly respond to, insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas. Acute complications including hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or nonketotic hyperosmolar coma may occur if the disease is not adequately controlled. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas leading to a deficiency of insulin.
Future research should include the use of lower-carbohydrate diets for the treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes. The increased concentrations of TNF-a and IL-6  Read more... (580 words, 1 image, estimated 2:19 mins reading time)

Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. The most common of these is diabetes insipidus in which the urine is not sweet (insipidus meaning “without taste” in Latin); it can be caused either by kidney (nephrogenic DI) or pituitary gland (central DI) poison. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.

While an estimated 17.9 million in the US alone have been diagnosed with diabetes, nearly one in four (5.7 million) diabetics are unaware that they have the disease. There is no known preventive measure which can be taken against type 1 diabetes; it is about 10% of diabetes mellitus cases in North America and Europe (though this varies by geographical location), and is a higher percentage in some other areas. s/)often referred to simply as diabetesis a condition in which the body does not produce enough, or gracefully respond to, insulin, a hormone produced in the  Read more...

As of 2009 there are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes. The term “type 1 diabetes” has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Type 1: Results from the body’s failure to produce insulin.
The dearth of randomized, controlled trials using the low-carbohydrate approach for type 2 diabetes, despite the historical and current clinical use of these approaches, challenges the idea that the randomized controlled trial should be the only guide of scientific inquiry and clinical practice.
