Well CEO of Glycemic Index Foundation popped by for a day asking for feedback about our views on carbs...but she left in a hurry after receiving some honest feedback from folks here...hmmm...
Unfortunately because these are a known side effect of diabetes, no one is bothering to find out why it happens. Also, we the diabetics of this world are keeping many eminent surgeons in gainful employment, so why should they change the status quo?We will reduce the food that spike us...even if they are low fat and plant based. And eat food that doesn't raise glucose, including those that may contain saturated fats. Unfortunately that is not what they like to hear...
My gripe with all the arguments that carbs/fibre has irreplaceable essential nutrients...is that it does little or nothing to prevent these amputation.
How many more limbs does it take for "healthcare" providers to figure that one out?
This is the most visible failure of the current treatment protocol and guidelines...the unnecessary loss of limbs due to poor glucose control. All it takes is adequate carbs reduction.
Are you really suggesting that doctors are conspiring to keep the numbers of amputations up to keep themselves in business? I think that's taking cynicism too far.Or...their most visible success.
The entire industry feeds & nourishes itself financially.
They keep the need for their services as priority.
HCP's have to adhere to the guidelines and regulations estblished by the bean counters, who cut the funding cake as best fits their mission statements.Are you really suggesting that doctors are conspiring to keep the numbers of amputations up to keep themselves in business?

I was staggered by the lack of knowledge when I was diagnosed. Being a biochemist I had to do my research and, had I not, I may not be here today or, if I was, I would certainly not be fit and active as my fasting glucose was 18.4mmol/L and my HbA1c was 10.6%. As I was a normal weight once I started low carbing I lost one a three quarter stones in weight and was told to up my carbs as I was classed as verging on "critically underweight". My weight stays at 7 stone, no more loss, and I try to control my glucose with very low carbs.
I have a friend who's has both legs chopped off due to T2DM. I saw him last Sunday begging on a freeway off-ramp. Please pray for him, his name is Randy Nichols.
The dear ladies responsible for teaching us on the DESMOND day I attended warned me against this site so, probably not many - apart from a few subversive ones and some spies.I would love to know how many NHS doctors and DN's are reading this...
the actively warned you against us? good grief!!!The dear ladies responsible for teaching us on the DESMOND day I attended warned me against this site so, probably not many - apart from a few subversive ones and some spies.
My dn advised me to come here and lower carbs, but not by anywhere near as much as I have. A gp in the same surgery told me testing was a waste of time and to eat in moderation (eat well), another said hb1ac was only needed yearly, another thought it was a 4 month average. Knowledge and practice is so variable. Some obviously flout guidelines (dr unwin for one!) and others blindly follow.The dear ladies responsible for teaching us on the DESMOND day I attended warned me against this site so, probably not many - apart from a few subversive ones and some spies.

Next time you encounter this type of attitude maybe point this out:The dear ladies responsible for teaching us on the DESMOND day I attended warned me against this site so, probably not many - apart from a few subversive ones and some spies.

Same here 4 years ago. Not Desmond, though. NHS Diabetes specialist Nurse. GP did warn me, but is happy I ignored him, and we work well together. I am the only one of his patients apparently who has come close to normal levels, and he will be chuffed to bits I am now considered In Remission by the hospital. He will not be so happy about my currrent heart attacks, but then neither am I.the actively warned you against us? good grief!!!
