A friend of mine had to take insulin dose daily.
Talking around with people, he found out that diet with carbon hydrates (bread, potato, rice…) increased blood sugar.
For the past few years, he is now on keto diet and eats 2-3 eggs per day, due to some missing aminoacyd (not entirely sure why). His blood sugar is normal and he doesn’t have to take insulin anymore.
If anyone needs some more info, contact and I can ask him for more details.

I'm confused. Is your a friend a diabetic whose doctor never told them that carbs increase their blood sugar level? Because this isn't exactly hidden knowledge for diabetics.
- rozman50 2y agoThey probably knew about it, but not about strict keto diet.
- ddorian43 2y agoThere are very big misconceptions about keto (ketoacidosis, too much protein, high fat is bad, cholesterol bad, etc) and many doctors don't mention it at all. They tell patients to "navigate carefully on a world full of addictive carbs" which has disastrous results overall.
- ddorian43 2y agoNote that this is possible only for T2D. For T1D, keto supposedly still helps to maintain lower & more consistent blood glucose, thus needing less insulin, but you still need it. Source: I do keto for other reasons.
