My brother has type 2. His wife is a nurse. Last time I saw them, she was feeding him 2 slices of pie for dessert after a carb heavy meal. For a medical professional, she’s absolutely clueless.
Even the American Diabetis Association pushes a “balanced” diet with carbs. They are not looking for a cure.
It’s the craziest thing. While reviewing my glucose meter after I had been low carbing and working out like mad for three months, the nurse congratulated me on putting my Type 2 into remission. Then she wanted to know what I was eating and when I told her, she shook her head and kindly told me I needed a lot more carbs daily. So to clarify, I asked her if she really thought I needed more carbs every day and she said yes. Then I said that carbohydrates break down into glucose so what she wanted me to do was basically eat more sugar, right? She laughed a little and said I didn’t really understand. It was my turn to laugh and I said that yes, I understood.
