diabetics dont make insulin pie.

i think that's more grey area, and may depend on individual metabolisms. one
thing is we need little protein to keep nitrogen in balance, but our need
for amino acids for neurotransmitters and enzymes would i believe boost this
considerably.  also consider that withput eating organ meats and/ortaking
very good supplements we will have less than ideal levels of Vit B6
[destroyed by heat], B12, folic acid and copper for starters, since organ
meats are the best sources of these. without these you will feel like
garbage whatever the proportion of fat/protein
