Hi Annie!
I take your point about non diabetics but surely medical professionals should be uptodate with the latest research. After all, some of the research goes back to 2008 which is a 5 year period. I would not be allowed to use this as an excuse in my profession. The other thing to whichmost of us take exception, is the fact that the current line of advice can lead to a worsening condition. I appreciate the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion but as the evidence for LCHF is so overwelming then surely a patient should be made aware of all the options?
A friend of my daughters is a nutritionist she said the medical professionals are aware of the LCHF diet and can see it works with people but may not be suitable for all. She said they really can't say to patients this is what they should be doing as not enough is yet known about the long term effects on the general health and it has not been followed long enough by diabetics to say low carbers will suffer from less complications so until it is at the present time it has to be the diabetics own choice as to whether they follow LCHF or not
