Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes has long been considered a disease that progresses over time and once you have it, it will stay with you until you suffer its many consequences.  However, remission can be achieved.  This study shows that a diet lower in carbohydrates led to significant drops in weight, HgbA1c, LDL, triglycerides, and overall blood pressure.  Type 2 Diabetes remission was achieved in 51% of the study group.
