Yes I read it.
“The greatest challenge to better therapy, as one recent analysis suggested, is the hesitation of physicians to continue prescribing more or newer drugs and increasing dosages as the diseases progress.”
I did see that. From what I’ve heard it’s the opposite. But it also exposes the fact that what they recommend to diabetics is not backed by science.
You should have read ALL of it. Gary Taubes is NOT pushing drugs. He’s been a vocal proponent of treating diabetes with low carb diets for years. His 2008 book Good Calories, Bad Calories is what caused me to try going low carb - with huge health benefits that followed.
If his advice was promoted 15 years ago, a lot fewer people would ahve died during COVID.
“If the diabetes community is to solve the formidable problems confronting it, even as drug therapies get ever more sophisticated, it will have to accept that some of its fundamental preconceptions about diabetes and diet may indeed be wrong. As it does so, it will have to provide support for those living with diabetes who decide that what theyhave been doing is not working.
Some patients, when confronted with the choice between following a restricted eating pattern that seemingly maximizes their health and wellbeing or eating whatever they want and treating the symptoms and complications with drug therapy, will prefer the former.”
He goes on to explain those who refuse to change their diets will still need treatment. Although it could be asked if they deserve treatment when they refuse an approach that works without spending $50,000+ on medicne.
For type Ii the biggest challenge is people refusing to limit carb intake. No, carbs do not provide a single essential dietary requirement.
Entirely self inflicted for type Ii.
The article actually states that the problem is with not abiding by studies that were done to effectively disprove keto diets, but have consistently confirmed those are the only ways to put diabetes into remission.
Read through to the end.
