lack of evidence

[firecat]

This post in JunkFoodScience examines whether there is good evidence to support the widespread belief that people with type 2 diabetes should attempt to lose weight and/or eat according to a particular food plan (low-carb or modified fat or what have you). It concludes that there is no good evidence to support weight loss or any particular food plan as a treatment for type 2 diabetes—not many studies have been done, and the studies that have been done are flawed.

I said "my anecdotal evidence," and you should have too, IMO, since you're talking about yourself.

The way it looks to me, the interaction between food and the conditions you mention varies a lot. (Which is probably part of the reason there's little evidence for a particular diet being good for T2s.)

You're right, of course. I am only speaking for me. I do think it's a Big Personal Experiment.
