Message: <blockquote data-quote="pollensa" data-source="post: 1792774">Good points raised to awareness and totally agree, and yes, I am sure, regards foods what we eat highly contribute to diabetes situation, and yes, your comments regards health teams is well said,  those who do provide advice especially lifestyle changes diet first,  etc.,once given, its then up to the individual, unfortunately, it seems other side of the coin many docs health care sadly, do not give perhaps appropriate uptodate recommendations, or give guidance as  some dont, this should address and change the approach of advice and guidance overall, an example of another situation re guidance given,  here in spain doc informed when  asked "why in spain is metformin given immediately prior to recommending diet changes lifestyle change, as normal procedure, the reply "well, not everyone is motivated or can be motivated, so why try to persuade them to change diet lifestyle, its easier to give metformin, which results, if individuals dont change their lifestyle, they can continue eating as they normally do", or words to the effect similar,  my thinking of this approach,  good medical sense approach?   For sure,  agree with your comments, those health care who inform with good recommendations in best interest of patient, diet along with other, should not be blamed, as ultimately, its up to the individual to use that tool gained knowledged if any given,  make their  final choice and decision, hopefully they will get motivated and use efforts to change lifestyle.although guidance generally comes whether good bad or indifferent by the so called experts committees associations professionals, perhaps ultimately, change of diet lifestyle is the main aim for us all, but for a leaf to be taken out of the book of Dr. Jason Fung in his guidance recommendations out there to the diabetes world regards "the way diabetes is treated" which in his opinion has not been treat wrongly over the past many years, and instead as a diet disease as explained, it should be treatment should focus on the "Cause" insulin resistance and not the symptom Sugars?  Who knows, but that seems goodmedical sense, whatever information we are all provided from every source at the end of the day, the Cause seems to be the root of the disease to be targetted and focused perhaps, after all?Excellent post and contents you raised, cannot agree more.</blockquote>
