[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 926502, member: 43498"] I don't think doctors are sitting back and thinking "I know low carbing will make this person healthier but my big pharma buddies will make more money if we get them to stay sick". I think it's more a case of them not knowing that it's possible to send diabetes into remission through dietary changes and also them not thinking many of their patients will have the commitment level to see it through and stick with it. The people we read about at this forum are the minority of patients who understand that remission is possible and how to do it. I would say a majority of people with T2 diabetes have no idea it's possible and a good proportion of them are not motivated enough to do it long term. We see the tip of the iceberg here and it gives us a skewed view. [/QUOTE]
