No one has all the answers. I believe in the low-carb diets and help people who tolerate the diet and do well on it to set it up. Some, however, do not do well and may do better with another approach. As I continue to say, this is not a one size fits all world. You, by the way, are doing...

That would be nice, but NO ONE KNOWS. All the research blames a multitude of reasons all except one, and that is the failure of the treatment plan itself. The majority of research is bickering about the failure of the low-carb diet, the failure of certain drugs, the limited success of this and...

So true. They use to use arsenic to dust plants, and I have seen the devastation of agent orange in soldiers I have treated who served in View Nam. Honestly, either folks are unconscious or they only think as far as they see, which is not so far in most cases. Look at the poison our kids see...

This is an advance practice registered nurse with a master's degree certificate and certification in diabetes management & treatment. I have certification in diabetic education and will be completing the MSN soon. I am working on the second phase which will allow the certification and training...

Thank you for your response! What type of fats? What are the effects on fat labs? Does it help with weight loss?

Thank you for your response. You are among many who report the LCHF approach has been effective for them. Does it help weight loss in a positive way? What about fat labs: cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL & HDL? What kinds of fat?

Brazil nuts have similar aflatoxins found in peanuts which also produces a similar allergic response. In an article I recently read, the Brazil nut is the most common nut allergy in Great Britain. I commend you on wanting to know more about this allergic response, and will provide a link below...

A short definition of success and a goal in treatment in the diabetic mission is to meet the goals of the patient to achieve and maintain an HbA1c within a therapeutic range. (Some can reach normal levels and other may only reach, let's say, 7.) In addition, if weight or abdominal girth is an...

Thank you, Azure. I understand. I have been a diabetic for many years myself, and I have seen the continued failure of treatment in the healthcare system. These costly diagnosticians continue to ignore the signs that what they are doing just not work. Good grief! They are dealing with the...

I would not comply either, because I would be in the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in intensive care. Are you kidding? This is malpractice. I wouldn't trust her either. Obviously, you are not following that hogwash. Is what you are doing working for you?

Happy to have your opinions about what is working for you in your therapy?

If you are a Ms, sorry.

You are living proof that these dietary plans need to be tailored to the individual, and the individual must construct his own plan. If a plan is not working, then additional adjustments based on extensive must be made. There is no one pill cure, and since we are all so very different, it...

Sir, I am afraid I do not follow the sarcasm regarding my education. I am far older than you, and if you require a resume, please let me know.

I apologize for your interpretation of the purpose of my blog. First, culturally sensitive is a word applied to diabetic education which denotes an applied RESPECT for the desired and traditional foods of a culture. For instance, when dietary changes are suggested, we never alienate...

Many of us are carbohydrate intolerant literally! That is no joke.

Sure. For one of my patients, who had difficulties with keeping her proportions reasonable.....she found her own solution. She found a beautiful ceramic plate that was divided into four sections. (Wish I could find this plate. It is really attractive.) She used it to help her reduce the...

I do not blame you one bit. That diet added to the problem, and obviously it was not the right fit for you. This happened to me as well, and I felt terrible. What have you found out for yourself about the foods that make it work for you?

I think I have a problem with dairy, and I did not realize it until one of my patients said she had to leave it out because she was not feeling well on the days she ingested cheese or consumed milk products. I dropped it from my diet and many of my stomach issues resolved and I was able to...
