Statins and Diabetes

by Duane Graveline, MD, MPH

It has been well established that statins can cause diabetes and it is well known that with diabetes firmly in place in your body, your risk of heart attack and stroke is much higher.Diabetes is yet another of the side effects of statins that appear to be dose sensitive. The higher the dose, the more likely the side effect is to occur.With less expensive generic versions of statins becoming available and with increasing recommendations for the use of statins, diabetes and diabetes provocation will continue to be a problem.

The Primacy of the Low Carbohydrate Diet

by ce Chalem

In my book Essential Diabetes Leadership (2010), I present the hypothesis and proof that a ketogenic (high fat, medium protein, low-carbohydrate) diet for diabetics, as part of an overall blood glucose optimization model, supports a long, happy, healthy life.

It appears that carbohydrates have been considered essential since the dawn of agriculture. For example, in The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal, Diamond writes:

"That transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture is generally considered a decisive step in our progress, when we at last acquired the stable food supply and leisure time prerequisite to the great accomplishments of modern civilization. In fact, careful examination of that transition suggests another conclusion: for most people the transition brought infectious diseases, malnutrition, and a shorter life span. For human society in general it worsened the relative lot of women and introduced class-based inequality. More than any other milestone along the path from chimpanzeehood to humanity, agriculture inextricably combines causes of our rise and our fall."

ce D. Chalem (b. 1963), a type 1 diabetic, has been passionately researching diabetes for the last decade. In his most recent book, Essential Diabetes Leadership, ce investigates the literature of the last three centuries in search of an optimal treatment of diabetes.
