Re: Is low carb dieting/exersising enough? From: Sue (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 29 Mar 2002 12:23:05 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Nicole: "Progestrone Gel" Previous message: Fergus: "Re: Is low carb dieting/exersising enough?" > The latest article I have on this came out about a month ago. Diet and exercise lowered your risk of NIDDM 58% while Glucophage only lowered it 31%. So long term, diet and exercise NIDDM prevention is about double that of Glucophage.< While this might be true for those who don't have PCO (i.e., an otherwise healthy adult trying to avoid NIDDM), it is not practical for everyone to low-carb (those who are prone to kidney problems/stones are advised not to do so), and it is proven that Glucophage (or some other insulin sensitizer) does lower the symptomology and chances of developing NIDDM. Of course, a reasonable diet and exercise along with insulin sensitizers make a whole lot of sense, but the original question dealt more with controlling symptoms of PCO, not developing NIDDM. >Please, what is NIDDM?< NIDDM is short for Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (or Type II diabetes).
