Low Carb Approved By ADA

The ADA changed its viewpoint in 2008 on low carb diets stating “low carbohydrate diets might seem to be a logical approach to lowering postprandial glucose”. In 2007, the American Diabetes Association stated that low carb diets were not recommended in the management of diabetes.

Why did it take so long? Low carb = low sugar .... How hard is that?
