[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2185584, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I wish that I had been told that drastically lowering carbs would be the #1 thing to do, being the most logical, considering my disease. I wish that I had been given a brochure that succinctly described the different kinds of diabetes, and the current state and actual knowledge from medicine and science about all the kinds of diabetes. I wish that I had been given the wonderful '50 Shades of Diabetes' graph BEFORE I spent a couple years without it trying to make sense of the different measurements whilst reading up on diabetes.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]I wish that I had been told with an apology from the supposed experts in the field, "Gee, Aloe, the world of science and medicine has known about the role of insulin since the early 1900s - we sure are sorry we didn't connect the dots regarding too much insulin and insulin resistance and tell you in time, as in - decades ago when you were diagnosed with PCOS - before you developed T2D - which would have been completely preventable! Sure sorry about that - Oops! Our bad." (Plus "But we are making sure your GPs and you know everything about it now - here is the brochure explaining it...." :).)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
