A short Boston Magazine article on Diabetes.
A Cure for Type 2 Diabetes?
A recent study suggests there might be a better treatment for one of the world’s most common diseases—and (surprise!) it doesn’t come in a syringe.

Quote:
The disease is, by definition, an intolerance to carbohydrates: When the body fails to produce enough insulin to stabilize the blood-sugar spikes caused by carbohydrates, especially sugar, it needs an outside source. For most diabetics, the course of treatment focuses on management: As you get sicker, medical professionals prescribe more drugs.
But this treatment begs the question: If diabetics are essentially allergic to carbs, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to avoid them in the first place, in the same way children with nut allergies stay away from PB&J sandwiches? That’s the question I sought an answer to this week on my podcast, “Empowered Health with Emily Kumler.” Over the past year, more than four peer-reviewed medical journals have reported the results of an ongoing clinical trial that removed carbs (think: grains, potatoes, processed foods, and fruit juice) from diabetics’ diets in a highly supervised way. The results were astounding: 60 percent of the subjects reversed their disease and 94 percent of subjects were able to eliminate or reduce their need for insulin. In other words: no carbs, no sugar—no diabetes.
