[QUOTE="Sarbak, post: 2309930, member: 530098"] And as for my future… after getting my HbA1C back in the normal range and… I guess… getting into ‘remission’ (I know this is a controversial word here), I have absolutely no ******* clue what way of eating I should follow that will give me the best chance at longevity and overall good health, because there is simply too much contradictory evidence in support of all the different ways of eating and I’m just not convinced which, if any, are actually true in an unbiased, rigorously tested, peer reviewed, long term way… I mean, over 10, 20, 30+ years. Do you know, with 100% certainty that the way of eating that you follow, whilst it may seem the best way of managing your diabetes on a daily basis, even over months or years, won’t have a negative impact in the long term on some other part of your body’s function or health? If you do, then you’re lucky, because I absolutely don’t have that and it frustrates me, now that I’ve finally decided to care about my health after nearly 50 years of not doing so lol. I guess all I can do is eat in a way that doesn’t trigger the return of my diabetes and hope that whatever that diet is doesn’t screw anything else up somewhere down the line. Let me ask you all this.. and I'm genuinely interested in honest opinions. Do you think that we naturally tend to believe things that align with our own thoughts, theories, beliefs and dismiss everything else as nonsense? I definitely find myself believing some things that I read or watch much more easily than I believe others and when I think about why, it's because it makes a bit more sense to me and aligns with what my own pre-conceived ideas or beliefs are. So, is that what we all do - just subconsciously ignore or dismiss all the other stuff? *sigh* Hey ho. Well, typing all this out was a little therapeutic. *EDIT since typing this out and attempting to post it yesterday (site gremlins got the better of me) – I just watched this video, which pretty much sums up my thinking. Published findings of studies are intentionally or unintentionally misleading and there’s no way to truly know what the best overall way of eating is (taking T2D out of the equation).
