Graeme, I appreciate your information. It would be worth it to me to try an “Atkins-type” diet to see if it would help the “flare ups” that I’ve encountered. Dupuytren’s is said to be a “painless” disease, but you couldn’t prove it by me. During an active time, both palms hurt, and the nodules are very tender. To be able to function without the pain would be worth sacrificing sugar. I’m going to give it a try and will keep the forum informed on how it works for me. I'm also considering seeing an endrocologist to get input on the connection between the two diseases.
