Default Diabetes Diet Semantics Discussion Thread


I propose that you use this thread to discuss the nuances of the words
cure, control and remission in regards
to low-carb as a means to improve the health of a diabetes-struck
person. You managed to blur a very interesting piece of knowledge and
what could have been quite an interesting discussion. I give you this
thread, so that you can empty all needs for a phrase discussion.

If you want to start a flame-war. People will NEVER agree on "CURE or
CONTROL".

I propose that you get a clue.

As one who has had diabetes for 26 years, I know I'm not cured, but I live
with good control.

What is there to agree on - they are two different things. If I were cured
of T2D, then I could eat anything I want and never have issues with BG. More
over, there are some people for whom even LC won't result in control of BG.
Hence, they cannot be controled, let alone cured.

What we ought to agree on is that cutting refined and high-GI load
carbs from the diet at the earliest possible time can only improve
ones glyceamic controll and minimize the damage already done.

It is interesting that although my HbA1c has been normal for a couple of
years, that I am still defined by my doctor as diabetic.

Semantic confusion is to be expected.

I feel the same way about "green" and "red".
