“Overall, the participants consumed a diet that provided approximately 44 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 40 percent from fat and 17 percent from protein.”

That doesn’t sound like low carb to me. It could be that more diabetics are going low carb and the low carbers and low fatties average out in the middle. It could also be that most diabetics are just eating the S.A.D. Some probably don’t want to change their WOE and don’t care. Others have probably experienced the futility of low fat diets and just give up. It’s hard to tell without more details.

When I first saw this headline, I thought that maybe people are starting to see the light. Now thta I’ve read the details, I’m not sure.

If they are eating the SAD, then that is certainly NOT good news. But I think the move to eat less carbs and more fat is a good thing. That was my point. Thanks for keeping the reality in the numbers.
