Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="paragliderpete" data-source="post: 326076" data-attributes="member: 44451">Hi All, the book refered to by  bellx15, whilst being very good at explaining the endocrine system and diabetes, it does fall short when it comes to diabetes management ideas, particularly with reqard to carb intake . Most of us on this forum are of the opinion the the high carb diet recommended by the NHS is causing many premature deaths.The book is a standard medical text book, and when I reccomended bellx read it, I stated it would help him understand why your doctor makes the decisions he does. A medical student is trained and examined against the content of this book. Its not therefore surprising when they try to convince us that we should  be eating large amounts of carb.Until the whole concept of diabetes management is changed at the training stage, the establishment will continue to throw out new doctors , with dangerous ideas they believe  are helping to save our lives.The second book I recommended he read Daibetes management, gives a very similar picture, however this is a standard text for diabetes specialists.I think that from the latest news , it would appear the they are starting to realise they are killing us, we are the lucky ones on the forum, just think of the thousands of diabetics who believe thier doctors and will never get the help they need</blockquote>
