[QUOTE="Sarbak, post: 2309929, member: 530098"] ● Health organisations can’t necessarily be trusted to tell us the truth (although I suspect it’s slightly different in the UK with it’s national health service) – see the Netflix documentary mentioned above, which has an absolute gem of a clip where a hospital’s media relations manager cancelled an arranged interview with a surgeon who advocates dietary change for patients, but the media relations manager stated "the hospital makes money off these surgeries… so we can’t do anything that will negatively impact the hospital…" ● Media can’t be trusted to tell us the truth, because they will print virtually anything that sells – often by intentionally click baiting and causing panic So, what do I believe in relation to my two challenges right now – obesity and T2D? Well, I believe this: ● With perhaps very few exceptions, any ‘diet’ plan will cause me to lose weight, so long as my calorific intake is lower than my body needs (some, of course, being more ‘sensible’ and/or sustainable than others) ● Losing weight (by any means) and becoming much more active will likely put my HbA1C number back into the normal zone ● Daily testing, at least in the short term, is the only way for me to see the immediate impact of my food choices on my blood glucose levels [yeah... more to follow] [/QUOTE]
