I do generally follow a keto diet, but I also try to stay clear of actual ketosis. Ketosis is extremely dangerous for diabetics. And I would never discontinue or reduce medication for diabetes without guidance or instructions from my Endocrinologist.
I do firmly believe that the best medicine is eating the right food, but there comes a point where eating the right food isn't enough. And you have to be very careful when substituting food for medicine.
- nradov 3y agoYou are laboring under some misconceptions and should read through the site I linked above. They have qualified physicians who have worked with many patients to reverse type-2 diabetes largely through nutritional ketosis. (Obviously I'm not suggesting that you just go do it on your own.)
- bradknowles 3y agoI did read the page before commenting. I will discuss the subject with my Endocrinologist, but I am most likely to take their word over that of some possibly random page on the Internet. I have chosen my doctors carefully, and I'm not going to discount their guidance quickly or easily.
- nradov 3y agoVirta Health is not some "random page". Have you read their published peer reviewed studies? Unfortunately, many endocrinologists haven't kept up with the latest developments in the field. It is unwise to take the word of any particular physician as they are far from infallible.
- bradknowles 3y agoI have not read any of their studies. I did not see any such links on the page. OTOH, I'm not qualified to read any of their studies, even if the links had been there. As I said, I will discuss the subject with my Endocrinologist.
