Diabetes is a disease that affects fat metabolism as well
as sugar. The reason why we call it diabetes mellitus is
that too much blood sugar causes you do pee a lot (that is
what diabetes means) and the pee is full of sugar
(mellitus refers to sugar). So the obvious thing to look
for is blood sugar.

Anyway, because diabets affects blood sugar and fat
metabolism, this is something you shoudl discuss with your
doctors and nutritionists. Plus, some of the side effects
of diabetes include kidney damage. The kidneys remove
excess urea from the blood. Urea is a byproduct of eating
meat. If you have any kidney problems, your diet could
affect your kidneys.

I think you'll be fine with your diet, though.

That is insane and extremely dangerous. You need to
drasticly increase the fat in your diet. you should get
around 50-60% calories from healthy fats. No
polyunsaturated or hydrogenated vegetable oils or canola
oil, moderate olive oil and mostly animal fats(lard,
duck fat, beef fat, dairy fat) You should also keep
grains to a minimum if not eliminate them completely and
eat plenty of non starchy veggies and moderate amount of
low sugar fruits like berries. You will notice a huge
improvement in your condition after changing your diet.
Eat raw meat if you have a taste for it and especialy
organ meats like liver wich are very nutrient dense. Raw
dairy products from grass fed cows are also extremely
healthy, especialy butter. The standered low fat high
carb diet that you were probably put on by your doctor
is complete nonsens and potentialy suicidal.

With the advanced state of your condition as you
described you really do not have time to waste and
should change your diet right away. 30% fat is crazy
enough but single digits is ludicrous. For more detailed
info on diabetes and a healthy diet to manage it go to
the Weston A. Price foundation web site and go to the
modern diseases section and there will be info on
diabetes. Your health and life really does depend on
getting the truth wich based on your current diet you
are obviously lacking.

My blood sugars are virtualy perfect, almost never over 100
even during the day at non-fasting periods.

But you still are diabetic. Trust me, you really want to
read this book. It'll open your eyes in ways you cannot
fathom. Dietary fat is the least of your concerns.
