A very interesting article about diabetes. It is a little scary since the premise is that if you do well on low-carb diets you might be prediabetic.
What is Diabetes? From Insulin Resistance to Type 2 Diabetes - How Diabetes Develops: "
# It is worth figuring out whether you are on Diabetes Road. If you are likely to be insulin resistant or prediabetic, there are steps you can take to lower your risk.
# People who respond well to low carb diets often have difficulties processing sugar. This in itself could be a sign that you are on the road to diabetes.
# Take this seriously. This is not something to ignore or be in denial about. Insulin resistance itself is associated with a higher risk for not only diabetes, but certainly heart disease, stroke, and possibly Alzheimer's disease and some cancers. Diabetes has many more complications. The more you can preserve the cells in your pancreas, the better off you will be.
# Different people who are at different points along the road may respond to different amounts of carbohydrate reduction. Reducing high glycemic carbohydrates such as added sugar and refined white grains such as products made with white flour is a good place to start. You can learn more about carbohydrate reduction on this site."
