University of Alabama researchers provided evidence indicating that low-carb diets should be used first in treating type 2 diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes should be given insulin along with guidance on customizing low-carb diets.
Diabetes should be considered a disease of carbohydrate intolerance, said at Barbara Gower, Ph.D., professor and vice chair for research at the university's department of nutrition sciences. Consequently, she views the restriction of carbohydrates as an obvious treatment.
