Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Low Carb and Diabetes (Part 2)

This video is the second half of the Atkins Diet Misconception: Diabetes series. If you have not seen Part 1, please watch it here:

The last video dealt with case damning the existing treatment or recommendations to follow a high carb diet managed with ever increasing doses of insulin. This video deals with the evidence for rather managing it with a low carb lifestyle. There are two great studies for advocating this method.

1:) Dietary carbohydrate restriction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal
Nutrition and Metabolism(Lond) 2008; 5: 9.
Numerous authors including Richard Bertstein, Mary Vernon, Jeff Volek, Eric Westman

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2359752&tool=pmcentrez

Conducted Multi-center trial in which 63 obese men and women were randomly assigned to either diet, 21 Low Carb, 21 Control, 21 High Carb for a one year study.
This discussion focuses on type 2 diabetes but many of the principles will apply to metabolic syndrome and possibly to type 1 as well[6,7].
1. Carbohydrate restriction improves glycemic control, the primary target of nutritional therapy and reduces insulin fluctuations.
2. Carbohydrate-restricted diets are at least as effective for weight loss as low-fat diets.
3. Substitution of fat for carbohydrate is generally beneficial for markers for and incidence of CVD.
4. Carbohydrate restriction improves the features of metabolic syndrome.
An important idea guiding current medical thinking is that clustering of seemingly disparate physiologic states, obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension, termed metabolic syndrome (MetS) suggests a common underlying cause. A recent review showed that carbohydrate restriction improves all of these markers[24].
5. Beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction do not require weight loss. It’s not simply a weight loss argument or due to people losing weight do they achieve the benefits.

2.) Low-carbohydrate diet in type 2 diabetes: stable improvement of bodyweight and glycemic control during 44 months follow-up
Jörgen V Nielsen email and Eva A Joensson email

Conclusion:
There is now little evidence for the claim that a fat-reduced diet for weight reduction has any particular value beyond caloric counting [10]. Current dietary recommendations seem to be a major part of their problem rather than being part of the solution. Carbohydrate restriction, however, reverses or neutralises all aspects of the metabolic syndrome [20,21].

Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Low Carb and Diabetes (Part 1)

Additional contact methods:
Twitter: http://twitter.com/bowulf
Blog: http://www.network-admin.net

This video comes out of another myth that gets propagated out by Atkins Diet bashers that somehow we are more likely to get diabetes by following low carb. Certainly there is no shortage of misinformation on the web:

http://www.atkinsexposed.org/atkins/122/Nutritionists_Warn_Diabetics_to_be_Wary_of_Atkins_Diet.htm

http://www.diabetesuffolk.com/LivingWithDiabetes/The%20Atkins%20diet.htm

Some say we are dangerous for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. Some just type 1 diabetics, but it really couldn’t be further from the truth. As all people, ESPECIALLY diabetics, could benefit from controlling blood glucose levels by carbohydrate monitoring or restriction.

There are two major proponents for Low Carb for diabetics:
Richard Bernstein, Type 1 Diabetic since 1946

http://www.diabetes911.net/about.php

Author of THE DIABETES DIET and Diabetes Solution

Mary Ross Vernon
Chairman of the board, American Society of Bariatric Physicians
Co-Author of Atkins Diabetes Revolution with Robert Atkins

http://tinyurl.com/cbjk76

2007 and 2008 Runner Up for Diabetic Educator of the Year Award

Mary Ross Vernon has been controlling diabetes with an Very Low Carb Diet (similar to Atkins Diet) for many years. She says both her Type 1 and Type 2 patients have benefited from carbohydrate restriction. She also notes that seeking quality physicians to handle the dramatic decrease in insulin requirements is paramount as some patients could be medication free in 3 days! See the attached quote (http://rjr10036.typepad.com/askdrvernon/2007/05/ron_of_sarasota.html).

Recently a number of studies have been released to support this position as well. One of the most notable for describing the failure of the existing recommendation of high carb and regulating with increasing doses of insulin is the study released in 2005 Nutrition and Metabolism magazine, “The case for low carbohydrate diets in diabetes management.” (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1188071&tool=pmcentrez) They detail that the high carbohydrate diet has lead to worse glycemic control, dislipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They noted in their review of studies that the low carb followers showed dramatic improvement in comparison to the high carb followers.

Reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, & medications!

Ken, diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and taking several medications, shares his transformation through Maximized Living with Dr. B.J. Hardick. www.DrHardick.com www.MaximizedLiving.com

Ken’s story, in his own words:

WHAT WAS YOUR CONDITION?

High Blood Pressure 231/119

Arthritis This caused problems doing normal things like washing my car, gardening, and even trying to get a good rest. This time last year, I couldnt bend down to zip up my boots.

Diabetes when I was first diagnosed, my blood sugar was 28.5.

Total Cholesterol 8.2

WHAT STEPS HAD YOU PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO GET WELL?

High Blood Pressure: I was put on Altace: 5 mg, then 10 mg. and then 15 mg. Although these medications helped somewhat, my numbers were still fluctuating. Changes to my diet helped very little.

Arthritis I was put on Naprosyn, which made my stomach ache, so I was put on another medication to take 1 hour before the Naprosyn to coat my stomach. After one year of this, and not much relief, my medication was changed to Celebrex, which did not help either. In between doses, I would take Tylenol Arthritis pills, as well.

Diabetes I was put on 500 mg. of Metformin, twice per day. Through the Lawson clinic, I was put on a very strict diet. I did well on this for some time, but I could not hold the numbers down. I then went to 1000 mg of Metformin, twice per day. Soon, Avandia was added to my regimen at 2 mgs, twice per day, then increased to 4 mgs, twice per day. All this medication failed to keep my blood sugar numbers down, so my doctor added Apo-Glyburide 5 mgs (twice per day), and suggested I would need insulin needles. I should note that through all this, I was following the diet I had been provided, and taking my prescribed medication, but my morning blood sugar numbers were still running at around 13.

Cholesterol I had been prescribed Lipitor 40mg and Ezetrol 10mg.

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED WITH CHIROPRACTIC?

My son and his fiancé had spent sometime with us as they were having work done at their home and seen how I had no energy, get-up and go and was irritable. They asked me to attend a session with Dr. B.J. Hardick. I was very skeptical, even after the initial examination and some early treatments. However, my wife encouraged me to give it a go as nothing else was working for me.

Dr. Hardick felt that the condition I had could be helped. The condition of my spine was in phase III. Dr. Hardick showed me where the subluxations were causing problems in my body and suggested that I start chiropractic care and follow a more specific diet based on the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans. I took his recommendation.

HOW HAVE YOU IMPROVED AFTER 6 MONTHS?

Weight Loss 34 lbs.

Blood Pressure now running at 123/82.

Arthritis I am not taking any medication and I have no problem doing the things I enjoy. I no longer need my wife to zip up my boots.

Diabetes My numbers in the morning for the past 3 months have never been over 6.1. I recently had complete blood work done and the results showed that I had not been in the diabetic range for at least 3 months. My doctor was so impressed that he has reduced my medication down to only Metformin 1000 mgs (twice per day). I am no longer taking Avandia or Glyburide.

Cholesterol now running at 1.79. Prior to the care, even with medication I could not get this number below 4.0. (According to the Canadian Diabetic Group, someone with Diabetes should be no higher than 2.) I believe the adjustments and the diet are responsible in getting these numbers down.

My doctor has stated that if these numbers remain like this when I have my next blood work done, he will either eliminate or reduce the amount of the drugs I am taking.

The reviews of my x-rays after the 3rd and 6th months of care have shown major improvements in my spine.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO OTHERS:

Very simple: Look at the numbers, how I feel now, and how I can do things I thought I would not ever be able to do. The choice is clear. Life is much better.

Diabetes Cure

http://www.MeTheDoctor.com/diabetes — Diabetes Cure — The Potential for a Diabetes Cure using all Natural Remedies

While numerous research studies have been ongoing for many years to find a diabetes cure, so far the scientists and researchers have been unsuccessful.

The condition of diabetes develops when the levels of blood sugar within blood become too high due to either low insulin, insulin resistance, or the combination of both factors.

Depending on the severity, diabetes can sometimes be controlled by diet and exercise alone or the patient may also be required to take medication or insulin injections to control their blood sugar levels.

While researchers have not found a definitive diabetes cure, scientific studies have shown that there is the potential for an individual to prevent diabetes or reduce the severity of their diabetic condition by following specific dietary and lifestyle guidelines.

Many individuals have already found success by using all natural remedies that work with the body’s own ability to naturally heal itself.

If you suffer from diabetes and would like to learn more information on this potential for a diabetes cure, you can find the details by visiting us here at: http://www.MeTheDoctor.com/diabetes
