Don’t misconstrue the word ‘diet’ as meaning to eat less instead interpret it as meaning to eat the proper food which doesn’t aggravate our diabetes.

👍🏻👍🏻😉
Totally agree. Type 2 diabetes is not a purely modern problem. The disease has been around thousands of years in various populations around the world. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s entire family virtually died of it just as metformin was being discovered and it would be hard to find a more ardent advocate for farm women, their families, and farming as a way of life and a calling. But its prevalence is no doubt increasing due to widespread changes in lifestyle.
Has you PCP checked your thyroid?
I’ll find out during my next appointment, thanks!
If you take them for diabetes,
at least you can be less sweet.
You know why this new substance, and many of the newest
“diabetes and more”*** drugs, actually cause weight loss?
As usual, the reason is multifactorial:
1. the drug effects
2. the placebo-like effects plus additional counseling
and motivation included with obtaining the drug
3. the side effects
4. the additional lack of appetite from the worry and
anxiety of what it’s doing to you financially to buy it!
5. what it’s doing to you financially (the poor house),
making you starve from no food to eat!
Sounds like this new one could make a few people rich,
and a lot of patients poor, then after the inevitable
lawsuits, a few patients a little richer, and a lot of
lawyers a lot richer.
You can never be too rich or too thin?
But now you can never be both at the same time.
Unless you are a lawyer?**
Shudder.
Who does not fry their bugs?
Not even in the holy “beef tallow”?
They are just too dry that way.
Maybe have a popup, at a local farmer’s market, with that.
Let us know how it sells. 😬
Wife was on that for years; after she lost weight on Ozempic her diabetes was gone and she no longer needed it.
These threads always end like a tall guy insulting a short guys intelligence by tell him if he had only tried harder he could have been tall while bragging that they personaly are tall because they are superior.
I would not assume that a doctor has in depth knowledge regarding the impact of food and nutrition on diabetics. Most MDs think in simplistic terms of 'reduce sugar and carbs'. Their primary focus is to prescribe medicines. Many look down their nose down on nutritionists and studies as the one I cited earlier. Many would be ignorant of the "whole-grain" response to glucose as compared to "refined-grain" carbs.
Good analogy!
“I agree with RFK Jr ... what ever happened to the sensible diet and exercise protocol recommendation?”
I’m 65 yo, 6’2” tall, and 206 lb., and have been a six day a week gym rat since high school. Sometimes the diabetes doesn’t cooperate with diet and exercise.
