We cannot deny the fact that diabetes is the fourth leading cause of global death by disease, currently affecting around 246 million people worldwide. There are three main types, the most widespread being the so-called type2 diabetes, formerly known as non-insulin dependent.
Basically, diabetes is a metabolic disorder; therefore it makes sense that it should be kept under control by supervising the types of foods consumed by people with type 2.
Low-carb diets – work by sharply cutting back on such things as desserts, bread, pastas, breakfast cereals, potatoes, rice, and other sweet or starchy foods. The basic principle is that lower food intake allows the body to use its own stores of fat for “fuel”. When the carbohydrate intake is limited to between 80 and 90 grams every day (primarily derived from vegetables, salad, and crisp bread), there is a very noticeable decrease in which it makes necessary for people with diabetes to rely on taking insulin. It is then possible to have a lasting success in the treatment of some of these people.
It is advice that those obese patients with type2 diabetes will follow a 20% carbohydrate diet with some caloric restriction will have lasting effect on bodyweight and glycemic control.
