| Low-carb diets are usually harder to start than low-fat diets (which
| will also help you lose weight if you follow them well). However,
| within a few months, low-carb diets reduce your appetite enough that
| they become easier to follow than low-fat diets, which don't reduce
| your appetite.
|
| The most successful people at controlling their type II over in
| newsgroup alt.support.diabetes tend to be those using low-carb diets.
| However, if you go to that newsgroup, I recommend that you tell your
| newsreader to ignore any messages crossposted to newsgroup
| sci.med.cardiology, since the most active kooks almost always
| crosspost there. Definitely, ignore all posts from a Dr. Chung,
| unless you have enough experience as a psychiatrist to help him.

| Many people claim that they sell a way to cure diabetes. Almost
| all of these are using a different definition of "cure" than the
| rest of the world.
|
| I've read of just one scientifically verified cure of diabetes,
| for a person with both type I and a more life-threatening
| condition. His treatment involved killing his bone marrow with
| radiation, then giving him a bone marrow transplant from
| someone else with a slight genetic difference that prevents
| his immune cells from attacking the beta cells in the pancreas.
| This treatment requires him to take anti-rejection medicines
| for the rest of his life - but it did cure his type I.
