They said, he is too far away to invite him as a speaker. That's a shame as Dr Unwin would give a balance view.
The group seem to just have the same speakers, who give out the same old same old. No one it seems willing to challange the advice. I said " the whole point of diabetes, is the pancreas cannot produce insulin adequately to break down carbs, hence high glucose levels. Why eat carbs. I did go on to say, by low carbing it gives the pancreas a rest, preserving beta cells and helps with insulin sensitivity for T2 diabetes. If continuing eating carbs eventually end up on insulin and that T2 diabetes does not need to be progressive.
Still have some resistance from the group. Even when someone said, they folliwed all the advice which was given, his diabetic team did not believe him and found it upsetting, and thinks what's the point. It was only me who was able to address the issue. I will attend to the next meet which is the dietician speaker, because it will benefit me. I have not seen my diabetetic nurses because they don't agree with low carbing and that was 4 years ago.
