Why Focusing On Intensive Glucose Control With Drugs Alone Is Counterproductive

The Zone diet is often described as a high-protein, low-carbohydrate program.
In the March 2002 issue of Diabetes Forecast it is part of a feature by Anne Daly entitled “The diet craze: Setting the record straight on high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet”.

Diet can significantly affect insulin sensitivity and the risk of type 2 diabetes and CHD. 44, 45 A high intake of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates can induce rapid postprandial glucose and insulin responses, leading to features of the metabolic syndrome or syndrome X—insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and a characteristic dyslipidemia featuring high triglycerides and low HDL concentrations. 10, 46-48

Lifestyle factors have now been established as the key in developing 1 as well as preventing and reversing type 2 diabetes 2, 3 and heart disease.

From much of the media, public-service broadcasts, and, dare I say, most of the medical profession, we hear that controlling blood sugar (glucose) better will prolong life and improve its quality for most patients who have type-1 or type-2 diabetes.

Eric S. Freedland, MD, Boston University School of Medicine, explains the Implications of Controlling Dietary Carbohydrates and other methods to reduce VAT. In the final part of his groundbreaking series The Role Of A Critical Visceral Adipose Tissue Threshold (CVATT) In Metabolic Syndrome
|
|
|
We all have a patient that is a relatively "thin" individual (with a normal BMI) and has an excess of VAT, and may be metabolically obese, normal weight (MONW) [27]. Then there are those with a large "pot bellies" who may have a great capacity to store fat as SCAT with relatively little VAT. Eric S. Freedland, MD, Boston University School of Medicine, helps us understand The Role Of A Critical Visceral Adipose Tissue Threshold (CVATT) In MONW, MNO Patients, and why this occurs.
