The Best Diabetic Diet?

People often come to our Low Carb Forum confused. They have been diagnosed as diabetic or prediabetic, and given a diet that is high in carbs. These people find that the traditional diabetic diet is not helping them control their blood glucose, so they look for information on their own, and find that some diabetes experts, such as Richard Bernstein, advocate a low carb diet. This only serves to confuse them more, and no wonder. The American Diabetes Association has admitted that low carb diets help some patients control blood glucose, and yet they do not recommend them because they don't think people can stick with them. They apparently think it is better for people to eat more carbohydrate, and just take more medication to control blood glucose. Well, here's another doctor that doesn't agree. Meet Dr. Mary Vernon, who has great success treating diabetic patients with a low carb diet. Adam Campbell has a great article about her in Men's Health Magazine: "The Cure for Diabetes".
