New diet protocols for type 2 diabetics have been studied in recent years, and have led in particular to two avenues: that of the strong caloric restriction suggested by Professor Roy Taylor of the University of Newcastle , with a diet protocol for type 2 diabetics that would allow the diabetes itself to be reversed, up to obtaining values ​​in the blood sugar level: and that, the latest arrival, of the restriction of carbohydrates only, a strategy developed by Dr. Barbara Gower of the University of Alabama . In this article I will tell you about the latter strategy, while for the calorie restriction protocol I invite you to read my previous article here, with a reporter who in eleven days returned to having normal diabetic blood sugar.

THE RESTRICTION OF CARBOHYDRATES ACCORDING TO DR. BARBARA GOWER
According to the research of Dr. Barbara Gower, diabetes can be both prevented and fought by restricting carbohydrates, therefore by means of a ketogenic diet; the type 2 diabetic diet can be in some cases completely resolutive of the disease, or at least allow to reduce or avoid drug therapy. This is because if the effect of diabetes is poor carbohydrate management, just don’t eat them to avoid injecting yourself with insulin. This is because insulin is produced to cope with an excess of carbohydrates, even if it has been proven for years that proteins and even fats also stimulate insulin; but they do it in a different way, so cutting down on carbohydrates and eating a diet predominantly of protein and fat could make insulin injections avoidable and lower blood sugar. Clearly, I’m simplifying: the doctor points out that the study is not aimed at patients, but at doctors; that changing diet and therefore lifestyle could be the way to combat type 2 diabetes with diet,source ).
