Nope. There&#x27;s a few things involved why this is a no.<p>The brain can only run on glucose. Because of that, the liver produces glucose from &#x27;whatever&#x27;, including pure protein. Leftover glucose ends up in the body, which can only be dealt with insulin.<p>Now, things like alcohol attack the glucose emitted by the liver, as it must handle alcohol before anything else.<p>But no, at least for type 1s and t2&#x27;s with severely degraded pancreatic function.<p>For me, I&#x27;m recent T2 but handling it well with protein and fats to great effect (-40 lbs, normal blood sugar) since December 7. I&#x27;m sticking to roughly &#x27;atkins style diet&#x27; to a great effect, called &quot;Eating to the Meter&quot;.
