[QUOTE="datkins65, post: 1232841, member: 320568"] Hi Mark, As a researcher, I have no opinion, and I usually quote resources. However, I do have an opinion when it comes to my own battle with T2DM. No one is judging, Mark, and I apologize if this was construed in such a manner. I am asking for opinions, because I am wondering why we as diabetics have such a hard time making all this work in our favor! You gave me one of the most common answers, that the diet plan was ineffective because it is "****." I agree 100% with you about the out-of-the-can dietary regimen of the ADA and the NHS. They do have good intentions, but people are so different, that not all can or will follow these plans. I approach the dietary plan with my patients in an entirely different manner and start by asking what they like and what they hate regarding food. I construct a personalized dietary plan based on the foods they love. I also ask that, if there is a family involved, that the family become involved in making a change in their diet so that other family members may benefit from a more healthy approach to eating. No body feels hungry or left out. I spend at a minimum 5 hours the first week with the patient when they are first diagnosed, and the support team provides a multitude of services to support change. Dietary change is a major change in a person's life, as you already know, and it takes more than a pamphlet on diet and a prescription to acquire a healthy change. These stats are from a reputable resources. What is not mentioned is that 60% of the obese most likely have a prediabetic state with 30% already with T2DM. As I have said as well, it is impossible to talk about diabetes without addressing obesity. Mark, my goodness, if your diet works, then that is great. Isn't that what we all are trying to achieve. God's speed Dona [/QUOTE]
