I am a member of the Type One Grit Facebook group and we have around 1000 members all achieving normal blood glucose levels and hba1c using a low carb diet. Most of us are scolded by our doctors for reducing carbs and having normal blood sugars and are accused of having lots of hypos in order to achieve our hba1c. We are told we won't be able to maintain the diet, or that carbs are essential nutrients. Diabetes educators tell us to eat massive amounts of carbs and shoot up with massive amounts of insulin (this does not work by the way! ) . They have never even heard of bolusing for protein. The ignorance is truly astounding.

From what you have written it would indeed appear that they are only interested in maintaining the illness, and as Jim one of the other com-mentors has brought up, the drug pharmaceutical companies are probably quite happy with this. If everyone embraced the LCHF lifestyle and made these savings it would of course take money away from them.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-53357046515914195252015-07-15T23:16:52.985+01:002015-07-15T23:16:52.985+01:00Dear Troll

I am staggered when I think of the money this organization could save if they pushed a low carbohydrate diet for their obese and diabetic patients. Instead they are pushing a low fat, "plant-based" diet with lots of so-called healthy whole grains. Diabetics are still told to eat 45 to 60 grams of carbs per MEAL plus snacks and to use margarine instead of butter. All they seem to be maintaining is illness from my point of view.
