Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris24Main" data-source="post: 2735201" data-attributes="member: 585131">I find (for me anyway) that it's quite instructive to read up on the history of all of this.It doesn't directly make it any easier to accept why so much of the advice seems totally at odds with the experience of people who have success here in reversing T2DM and insulin resistance, but at least in some cases it makes it easier to understand where some opinions have formed, why they have become embedded, and then - once they have taken hold - why well-meaning professionals can offer advice based on these opinions.I say this only to point out that I see my role in this, to be a "patient patient" - if I can engage with my GP, acknowledge her biases (even though I don't agree) and just point out the evidence that explains why my situation is improving... hopefully there may be a thought in her head that wasn't there, when she next consults someone else.I cannot persuade her, and she cannot act outside her guidelines, professionally speaking. If I'm rude, or obnoxious in pushing my views, that can only be a negative; but if I can be unremittingly positive and just show her the evidence - who knows... many of the leaders in the field are doctors who were surprised by their patients.but on the original topic, there was a time that the idea took hold in medical circles that a sugary snack would "more quickly" produce a feeling of being full, and thus that it might lead to less overall being consumed - it's the extension of the "don't spoil your appetite" line that you will have been told as a kid. Hormonally, it's totally wrong, but still seems like it could be true, so it's still held as a viable opinion.</blockquote>
