How can I put this politely? Perhaps I could just pose other questions about UK, US and global health services:That's interesting as my understanding is that greater muscle mass increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake and improves insulin sensitivity. Why then is there so much emphasis on cardio exercise to reduce weight when resistance based exercises to boost muscle mass may be equally, or more effective?
1. Why do they all advise same high carb, whole grain, high fruit low calorie, high(er) cardio exercise for everybody no matter whether healthy or diabetic or any other condition?
2. Why do they mostly say that T2D is incurable and progressive even with the most powerful medication?
3. Why do they (in UK at least) tell T2D's not to test BG and say it will depress them if they do test? Even those who tell their Doctor they want to control by diet? Saying an HbA1C every 3 or 6 or even 12 months is sufficient for those trying to control BG by diet?
Well I think the answer is pretty clear - don't you ?
