A thought occurred to me shortly after DX.
That IF the only advice previously was a version of the Eatwell, and prepare for predictable injuries, then any data regarding life expectancy, strokes, heart attacks would I think follow the same trend over decades .
Same advice, same outcome
But when alternative diets ride into town, which weren't offered as treatment potentials to new T2D's (well certainly not to me)
And, by the lack of interest mine & others quite impressive reversals of the norm, caused, I suspect no one takes much note of the odd one or two bucking the trend.
On which note this discussion on B12, made me think.
It seems some doctors don't consider B12 when diagnosing some illnesses, and the ranges mean many who are low, get an "everything's fine" rating ..until it isn't.
So tying historical data together,,
Could it be, that if you keto or low carb , the historical data may be skewed badly by the larger number just eating the Eatwell diet , with all the expected results ,
That perhaps that keto / low carb crowd are avoiding.
Is it then possible, the fact Metformin CAN impact B12, is actually what causes T2D to be more at risk of heart attacks & strokes etc,
And actually be the silent killer attacking diabetics, left ignorant of it's importance.?
Concerning, that despite their best efforts to limit the chances of all the above, many may simply be treating the wrong disease , while the B12 is where they should look to limit such risks ?
