[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1432897, member: 85785"] Vested interests is the answer! Also within doctors training, the low carb higher fat is shunned and dismissed as one of those dietary fads. Also, the one size fits all for prediabetes and newbie type two. The reason behind this thinking has to be that most doctors have not had the experience of actually having T2 diabetes and not had the freedom to think outside the guidelines. This is changing though! The major theory behind treatment for type two is not dietary but getting blood glucose levels down and therefore most are given meds to treat it. However, there are many reasons why type two develops and this treatment doesn't include it in the treatment protocols. As anyone who has been on this forum long enough, we are all different, other variables have to be taken into consideration. Type two can be a dietary condition and should be treated as such, hyperinsulinaemia, hyperthyroidism, and other hormonal imbalance conditions are sometimes dismissed as incidental. But can lead to complications if treated by meds instead of diet! Through my experience, with misdiagnosis and our medical practitioners not having a clue with other rarer types of endocrine conditions, the knowledge is not there. Theoretically, we all need glucose to give us our brain function, we cannot do without it! But too much glucose is bad! We need the right balance of insulin to offset this. We need other hormones as well, within our own individual balance. When it goes out of balance, that is where it all starts. But our doctors believe and are taught that healthy carbs, those that are slow to digest to provide that healthy balance. But if you are glucose intolerant or cannot risk more insulin into our blood, how is that healthy? Most of everything is poisonous in quantity, so is glucose, insulin, too much is not good, too little is not good. Balance is having your blood glucose levels near normal for longer periods is good and healthy. Other than low carb, there is nothing that can do this! And is sustainable! I might add that my GP and endocrinologist are supportive in my choice of diet and has brought in low carbing for most of their patients with some real success. [/QUOTE]
