Landmark diabetes report says low-carb is a top option:
A recent Western Australia government inquiry may result in a huge public health breakthrough for treatment of type 2 diabetes. The result of the inquiry, a report titled, “The Food Fix: The role of diet in type 2 diabetes prevention and management,” calls for low-carbohydrate diets to be one of three options formally offered to patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
The report, submitted by the Education and Health Standing Committee of Western Australia’s parliament, also says that remission, not just management, should be the goal of type 2 diabetes interventions.
As part of the inquiry, a team of policymakers from Western Australia travelled to the UK to meet Dr. David Unwin, tour his clinic, meet a number of his patients, and enjoy a low-carbohydrate dinner.
The report notes that Dr. Unwin learned about the value of a low-carbohydrate diet for treating type 2 diabetes by working with patients in his clinic. He found that his patients did not understand that starchy foods, such as potatoes and rice, end up breaking down into sugar in the body. He created a graphic showing that eating a five-ounce serving of rice has a similar effect on blood glucose as consuming 10 teaspoons of sugar.

Looks and sounds amazing, my husband is one of the type two diabetics that controls his health with diet, he briefly was on medication but then we changed his diet and that was the key. He eats lower carbs but not no carb, he still eats one slice of bread a day, he eats potatoes carrots all the veggies and fruits but what he doesn’t eat is added sugar things like cakes cookies, candies, syrups, jams, he had such a sweet tooth but through moderation and diet he does perfectly, but it’s not an extreme low carb diet at all. He eats eggs every morning and his cholesterol numbers are great so that’s that!
I try to eat low carb these days. It sure helped to bring my A1C down.
It really is the best way to eat for all of us!
That's an interesting post. I have started eating eggs more frequently, and I am off to read the entire study that was conducted. Thanks for sharing this, Jan.

Thanks to everyone for their comments, they are all appreciated...
Laurie - so pleased that with a change of diet your husband can control his Type 2 Diabetes, that is what my husband Eddie did when he was first diagnosed and his blood sugar readings are still good. He finds that by eating no more than fifty carbs per day, (and most days less) higher healthy fats and moderate protein he holds good figures.
Mary - thanks for sharing that you 'try to eat low carb these days. It sure helped to bring my A1C down.' that's so good to know.
All the best Jan
As you know, my husband is diabetic, so we greatly appreciate this low carb info and the recipe. Thx!
Lovely to read that remission as well as management should be the goal. As it should for most/all? ailments.
This is so informative and also very helpful. Thank you for sharing this with us, just what I need.
Muy interesantes todos tus reportajes. Un beso.

As usual this blog presents information valuable to everyone trying to do the right things by their food intake. I'm really keen on this non-carb breakfast as a main meal. So today it's bacon, egg, tinned tomatoes and fried mushrooms at 6pm.
Encouraging post and wonderful yummy looking food!
Happy Day to you,
