[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1031867, member: 150927"] Yes. I hear you. Strange indeed. Tim Noakes (I think it was, in SA) talks about 'cognitive dissonance' and I agree with him. You, sitting there with your fabulous BG control/reversal, and the only way they can make sense of it, even with you telling them how to do it, is to.... go very very quiet. Not see you. Not hear you. Not hear what you are saying. Because what you are, what you saying, and your dietary treatment does not fit with the party line. (That happens to me here in NZ too.) (Not in Sweden. But they don't have the high numbers of diabetics either. And they have admitted the LCHF truth! If I can sound a bit religious here.) I'm lucky that I have a sister who is a nurse here, and she does see me, and hears me. (And she is borderline prediabetic, so she has her own interests! And a daughter who may have inherited a particular fat storage pathway...) And she gets training in the party line in diabetes management, or managing diabetics lol. But I am pretty sure what I say and what she sees gets through to the diabetics she meets in her job, if the topic of dietary management comes up. Because of my numbers (and as we know - the talk is about the numbers which stands for what is happening in our livers and pancreas) she cannot help but be impressed, even convinced. (We talk about it.) There is hope! And I had a fabulous diabetes nurse in Sweden, who never came out with any nonsense. And lead VLCD groups, and LCHF groups. Which is accepted as part of the treatment options by the state. Gives me hope we will get there! And the cognitive dissonance will be cut through, eventually... [/QUOTE]
