A member asked:
Which diet is better for blood glucose control without meds? low carb or plant based?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low carb: diet w/higher protein helps shift the body into ketosis. That is the state wherein the body uses fat for fuel rather than sugar. Please only do this w/doctor supervision. Plant based diet is a good supplement to this. Peace and good health.
