“If you’re going on a very low carb diet to cure your type 2 diabetes, DO NOT CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR as often they won’t even be encouraging, following some other dumb government diet guidelines.”
Generally the case, but if you REALLY want to tell your doctor, expect just what you describe and be prepared to find a new doctor. And keep in a few things about Type 2 diabetes:
1) The doctors can lose their licenses if they don’t treat your blood sugar (even though that’s a symptom, not the cause)...so they’ll always insist on that, even if they’re ok with Keto/Fasting. Think of the guidelines as laws, when they pertain to doctors.
2) The American Diabetes Association entire existence depends on Americans having diabetes - the more, the merrier, at least for them.
3) Diabetes is obviously a huge industry in the country, just as tobacco was, and hence the people/companies cashing in are in no hurry to see people self-curing.
4) Also aligned with Big Diabetes is Big Food. If the word ever gets out that today’s hybridized wheat is basically poison as our bodies have huge difficulties processing it, then there will be really big-time impacts to the food industry, since at least half of our food contains this wheat (pastas, breads, snacks, etc.). Sugar is also, of course, a killer. Also, similarly for the slightly less harmful high-carb foods, including potatoes and rice, very big impacts.
Thankfully, though, this is still a state-secret, so their jobs are safe.
Every word you say is true. Sadly, even early breast cancer is “used” this same way.
I think anyone should be able to go low or even medium low carb (under 100g a day) without informing any doctor. If you are on insulin you would still be testing, right? So you can adjust your dose yourself if you’re somewhat intelligent. Eventually you can get a doc to read you and test you and go off insulin or meds.
