Benefits of low carb/low insulin levels/approaching truly normal BGs
You won't gain weight
You will keep your toesies and feet
You will keep your eyesight
You will keep your own kidneys
You likely will feel a whole heck of a lot better
You likely, but not necessarily, will become more dependent upon insulin as the years go by.
It is not impossible that a medical cure/treatment could negate that last sentence.
In any event, Merry Christmas |
