To the NIH - Please acknowledge existing science !
National Institutes of Health re: the ACCORD Diabetes Study: "Intensively targeting blood sugar to near-normal levels ... increases risk of death. "
This statement is untrue. This study lowered blood glucose levels only by aggressive drug treatment.
Preventative measures and proven non-drug treatments are being ignored by the NIH, ADA and many other governing agencies.
There is abundant scientific evidence proving a carbohydrate restricted diet can be as effective as drugs in lowering blood glucose levels safely. Many times diet is more effective than medication in controlling diabetes - all without side effects or increased risk of death.
I ask that the National Institutes of Health publically retract the above quoted statement. It is misleading the public.
I also request that the NIH acknowledge the existing science and fund more research by the experts who have experience with carbohydrate restriction as a means of treatment for diabetes.

Type 2, male aged 64.Diabetic now for 20 yrs and on insulin for last 6 yrs.Problems over first 18 months then went on carb count. Still have hypo symptons but body knows best then check to confirm sugar levels.Stop this myth that all diabetics are overweight stress caused mine.
My brother is type 2 diabetic and controls his blood sugar very effectively with a low carbohydrate diet. My father was a type 2 diabetic, did not control carbohydrate intake, and his disease progressed through blindness, then kidney failure necessitating dialysis, and finally death from complications resulting from his diabetes. He would not heed advice to restrict carbohydrates, instead "trusting" his doctors to know and do what was "best" for him. It's time for governmental and professional medical "experts" to stop recommending junk science to the public and directly contributing to the misery and death of millions of Americans.
Health is not all about drugs. Type 2 diabetes can usually be controlled with a low-carbohydrate diet and exercise. I don't pay taxes to support the drug industry, but to provide for the common good. Do the right thing and fund these studies!
This is the truth! Free information. Learn it and have it change your life. Others will follow!
Please don't jeopardize the health of our nation by ignoring real scientific evidence that shows type 2 diabetes is 100% preventable.
This is important to me. For the lats two years my A1c test have come back from the lab labled Normal, non diabetic. I know I am healtier and all of my checkups show no sign of symptoms of of unmanaged diabetis. Please make it clear to all that normal blood sugers don't kill when achieved through diet and exercise, ONLY when an overdose of drugs is prescribed!
I am a type 1 diabetic of 3 years now, and have been struggling to keep my sugars near normal levels. I am signing this petition, to let those who read this statement, know how important it truly is to keep your numbers in range. Though we are all awaiting the day that we can be cured of this disease, we need to not pay attention to false statements, and continue on our healthy path.

Diabetes control is dependent on beta-cell physiology and pathology. Beta cells make and release insulin, a hormone that controls the level of glucose in the blood. Apart from insulin, beta cells release C-peptide that helps to prevent neuropathy, and other symptoms of diabetes related to vascular deterioration. B-cells also produce amylin which functions as part of the endocrine pancreas and contributes to glycemic control. Several ayurvedic herbs are promising in the regulation of Beta cells functions.

Thanks so much for your attention to the health and well-being of so many Americans. Lower carbohydrate eating is a positive way to help push obesity to the sidelines and celebrate health and a more natural way to people everywhere.
I am an exercise physiologist and personal trainer who has helped numerous clients achieve lower blood sugar, lower hemoglobin A1c levels and decrease or eliminate diabetes and pre-diabetes medications through a reduced carb diet.
