Hmm I heard about this keto diet, but I didnt know that it will have good effect to those with Diabetes. I thought keto diet is just for weight loss, thanks for sharing this information. My Grandma actually has type 2 diabetes. I will definitely tell her about this! Keep up the good work @cristi

Isn't it reasonable that a diet devoid of carbohydrates improves a condition with an underlying deficit of carbohydrate metabolism?
Howie, I suggest you do some research on low carbohydrates diet in general. Sugar is poison and we are consuming it way too much, it is everywhere. Check your spices. Look how many of them have sugar inside where you wouldn't expect it. For example, garlic salt... See hot salty peanuts in the store? Yes sugar. Industry is using it to enhance the food taste. Food industry is engineering food the way that you crave it once you try it. It is a huge science, companies are spending bilions into learning, how to make you eat more of their stuff. And sugar is part of the recipe. And many chemicals. It is virtually everywhere!
If you start looking at low carbohydrates diet, you are starting to protect yourself and it will have health benefits on many levels. You can reduce seizures with low carbohydrate diet. It helps with both, types 1 and 2 diabetes. How is this possible? Well carbohydrates are causing that blood sugar levels gets too high, too fast. Later blood sugar drops down faster than usually. Both, rises ad drops affects secretion of insulin. What is the best? That you have as stable sugar levels in the blood stream as possible. Stable and low. And how you reach this? Less carbohydrates and by eating food that has low glycemic index, which means your blood sugar will not jump so rapidly.
Bottom line, while yes, your Grandma can use and benefit from low carbohydrate diet and especially from keto diet, so would you and everyone else. Do some research, it is your body, your health that we are talking about. And no one else should care more about it that you. And you know that food industry can care less about your body, only profits are important.
