I was a User Representative on our local DAPHNE comittee where we were discussing the latest (?) techniques. Boy, how old fashioned the so called experts were. Thet had not even considered the Insulin Pump (my best friend was fitted with one in London) or bolus for meals. They were teaching fixed dosage, the eatwell plate etc. Then we came to coffee break, and only sugarlumps, and sticky buns and cream cakes. Not a sweetner in sight or in the restaurant next door.Clued-up professionals are the exception, so we shouldn't be surprised at this outdated approach. It's very disappointing but we're in a privileged position here with knowledge and experience that can change the world! I would expect a university seminar to be too far removed from our reality to offer much help.
From what people say on the forum, we just put in a word here and there at our surgeries and hospitals, at work and among friends, and one day the dam will burst and enlightenment will flood our lives.
Oops, too much coffee
Srsly, you could write to the university and tell them what you thought.
Eatwell reigns supreme..... The scientific reports on hydrolysed fats vs saturated but natural fats has only recently reversed the Dietician guidelines to allow us to consider a High Fat diet to compensate a Low Carb diet. We are, i believe, only a few months away from that breaking news. Low carb diets have been around for years now, but were difficult to maintain longterm. Hopefully LCHF will provide the answer to a maiden's prayer (so to speak)
