Reading on, there is a very good section on Type 1 diabetes and how it can be well controlled with a low carb diet. You still have to inject insulin, but much less than when eating carbs. It was mostly about a man who was a marathon runner. By trial and error, he figured out how to eat low carb and not carb load for the race, and just the right amount of insulin to inject to get him through the race without a hypo or a severe spike. Exercise can be very tricky with diabetes.

The chapter I just finished was about how nutritionists and other medical personnel just HAVE to support the pharmaceutical community, and also the food giants. Even after they saw proof that low carb could help diabetics, they continue to insist that people take their meds and "balance out their carbs" to go along with them.

I am a little more than half way through.
