A Low Carb Diet
Too often people are put off by diets. “Diet is a four-letter word. And it begins with die.” They think more about what they’re going to do without, than what they’re going to gain or the goal they’re aiming to achieve. They look at diets as ends in themselves and therefore as a life-sentence to foods they don’t like and not enough of those.
I don’t know anyone who goes on a diet just for dieting’s sake. The secret to success is to keep the real goal in mind. Think about the benefits — to lose weight, feel better, and have much better control over your diabetes. You are also greatly delaying and possibly preventing life-threatening complications down the road.
Besides, this diet doesn’t exactly leave you hungry. You can eat all sorts of delicious foods and plenty of it.

That’s one of the reasons that the low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet is becoming more popular in the diabetes community.
Not only that, but the low-carb diet is now generally accepted by the dietary and medical community. Even the American Diabetes Association which formerly frowned on the low-carbohydrate diet now acknowledges it as a legitimate treatment (albeit short-term, in their view) for diabetes.
The reason to follow a low-carbohydrate diet is simple. Diabetes is a disease of carbohydrate intolerance. More carbohydrates in the diet require more insulin to counter-act them, which is the very opposite of what we’re trying to do. Fewer carbohydrates require less insulin, it’s as simple as that.
