Wow thanks for posting this- I've been looking for ages for proof
that it is possible to be diabetic and live symptom-free. The
standard thinking seems to be that once you have diabetes you just
have to start waiting for things to start dropping off. I just
couldn't believe this.
Yes, you can control your BG levels on a very low CH diet but usually
(especially at my age) some medication is necessary. If you start the low CH diet
when you first develop diabetes you can control it without medication for
quite a few years. I am 77 and use insulin for my control. I use insulin because
it is natural to the body and gives you very good control.
