[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2277632, member: 345386"] Where I find the nod and smile approach challenging is how can we hope to turn the tide if we play into the disinformation game? If we nod and agree, then we are reinforcing their belief that the EatWell Guide works, because, by omission and disingenuous sentiments, we are confirming it does. I prefer to tell them what I do, and leave it with them to digest, in the light of my blood tests and other biomarkers. If they don't see with their own eyes there is another way, their minds are less likely to be opened. When I was referred to an Endo for something non-diabetes, I wondered what his approach would be. He was absolutely fine with it, saying it was hard to argue against years of consistent blood results, and the n delivered the whammy of having to go gluten-free. Again, to be clear, the GF was not related to my diabetes situation, but his belief that many people with auto-immune conditions find they are better without gluten in their lives. My view is fibs and implied untruths are not helpful. At the end of the day, we are at home, living with this condition day in day out. We have to decide what gives us the best balance in our lives.
