Can you do without medication with type 2 diabetes?

Hello everyone!

According to a study by the University of Alabama in Birmingham, following a low carbohydrate diet can improve the function of our beta cells, which are responsible for producing insulin.

This is important because, as you know, type 2 diabetes is characterized by a poor response of these cells to blood sugar, partly due to excessive carbohydrate intake.

The most surprising thing is that the researchers found that people who followed a low carbohydrate diet not only improved the function of their beta cells, but could also stop taking medications.

In the study, 57 adults participated with type 2 diabetes, divided into two groups: one with a low carbohydrate diet and another with a high diet in carbohydrates.The results showed that those with the low carbohydrate diet experienced significant improvements in the response of their beta cells, much more than those of the group with high diet in carbohydrates.

This makes me think of how important it is what we eat and how it can directly affect our health.If you are looking for a way to improve your diabetes control, it may be worth considering a low carbohydrate diet.

Of course, before making any change, it is very important to talk to your doctor before making significant adjustments in the diet.

Also take into account that there are many cases in which this scenario will not be possible, type 2 diabetes, even controlling the diet very well, can continue requiring medication, and in the long term it can typically reach a point where even the administration ofinsulin becomes necessary.

But for those that this option is a possibility, I hope this information is useful and I encourage you to explore new ways to handle diabetes.Take care of you!

A hug,
