I agree with the op statement. I agree somewhat with the article. As a healthcare worker for 46 years, and a diabetic for 24 years, I think the article is too simplistic. I agree with decreasing carbs, I eat 100 grams daily. Basically the article says: If it tastes good, spit it out. I have tried all sorts of methods to "cure diabetes". That is BS. If your diabetes was "cured", you don't have diabetes, but a pre-diabetic condition known as Syndrome X. Alzheimer's patients brains also have high Aluminum levels. Is it due to cooking in aluminum, drinking sodas from aluminum cans?, or because the brain is missing something to excrete the aluminum? I am not saying Insulin doesn't have a part in the process, just saying it isn't the whole ball of wax.

Sounds like the article is a medical conclusion from a non medical doctor(?).

My doctor keeps telling me I'm pre diabetic. Every time she says that I
ask "If I'm pre diabetic, WHY do I have so much problem keeping my
blood sugar up?" She then quickly changes the subject.

Diabetes is a function of the same thing that creates "over weight".
Calories in vs calories used in exercise/activity. The mixture of carb's
vs protein source will effect how quickly the sugars are available to
the body and the slower they are available, the less insulin you need.

Easiest (for most people) way is to . . . walk . . . for an hour or more
each day. The body uses up the "active sugar" (in the body but not
converted to fat) and then starts using the stored sugar (FAT).

How does this relate to old-timers disease? How many really active
people do you know with "old-timers"?
