[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1487660, member: 160246"] That was a great read. Thanks for posting [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] and for the summary [USER=277199]@kokhongw[/USER]. :) It's beginning...[I] "The preliminary results were presented this week at the 77th annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association by Sarah Hallberg, DO, MS, Medical Director of Virta Health." [/I] In the US, most doctors do not have the staff needed to educate and support their patients in making needed lifestyle changes. Interestingly, it's not just the American Diabetes Association that's slow to support and teach the low carbohydrate diet.

I recently learned that two of my diabetic friends have stage 3 kidney disease, so I spent a good part of last weekend looking for a diet which I found thanks to a series of posts on a low carb forum previously unknown to me.
