Le diabète type 2

Manger LCHF, soit avec très peu de glucides, va souvent fortement améliorer l'état d'une personne diabétique.

Premièrement il va maigrir et vu qu'il évite ce qui le rend malade, (les glucides) il pourra diminuer et des fois arrêter complètement ses médicaments.

Dans les pays scandinaves les médecins peuvent depuis quelques années conseiller une régime pauvre en glucides à leurs patients diabétiques et ceci avec d’excellentes résultats. Je vous mets un extrait en anglais tiré du site http://www.dietdoctor.com/category/health-problems/diabetes.

Yet another story from a person with type 2 diabetes, who has tried an LCHF diet:

At an appointment with my doctor, after being on an LCHF diet for one year (diabetes checkup):

The first thing she asks me is…. “What have you done?” – with a big smile.
“I started eating an LCHF diet”, I say.
“I just knew it had to be something like that!”, she says.

All numbers are good. Blood sugar normal, cholesterol numbers good, blood counts…. everything that can be measured is great (all was not good a year ago). My waistline has shrunk by 5 inches, and I have lost more than 30 pounds (have acquired more muscle mass too, so my fat loss is probably significant).

In addition I have completely stopped taking some antidiabetic medications (don’t need them anymore), and am currently taking half the dose of the last remaining antidiabetic medication that I take daily. I don’t need more than that when I eat an LCHF diet.

Then comes the funny part (or the not so funny part). She tells med that many of her patients have changed their diets to an LCHF diet on their own. And they all lose weight, they all improve their health markers, become healthier and feel much better.

“Isn’t this amazing?!”, she says, adding “And I am not allowed to recommend this to my patients, because we have to follow the official guidelines. Our whole society is sugar-poisoned.”

Answer from the diet doctor

- Congratulations!

The doctor’s idea that she is not allowed to recommend an LCHF diet is a common urban legend, that is spread by ignorance. As a physician in Sweden you may certainly recommend an LCHF diet. I have done so to appropriate patients more or less daily for the past six years, with results similar to the above.

Si vous voulez essayer le LCHF,  c’est très important de vous faire suivre par votre médecin pour surveiller votre état de santé et diminuer sous surveillance les doses de médicaments à prendre.
