Can a Low Carb Diet Reverse Diabetes?
Simply put, a low carb diet cannot reverse diabetes since diabetes has no known cure, except in the case of pancreas transplant. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) low-carb diets (defined as less than 130g/day of total carbohydrates), are not recommended in the management of diabetes. The ADA recognizes that low-carb diets are difficult to stick with and that the intake of a fatty diet isn’t healthy for those with a tendency for obesity (as those with type 2 diabetes demonstrate). This article will focus on the discussion of carbohydrates and their role in diabetes, as well as good carb-eating habits for diabetics.
