” In part, that’s because, since the 1970s, more and more Americans are growing up and living in “obesogenic” environments where they get less exercise, eat more processed foods high in carbohydrates and fat, and gain excessive weight at an earlier age.”
YEA!! Kind of. They got the “C”-word in finally - Carbohydrates (the cause of high blood sugar), but had to add in fat, of which there is ZERO EVIDENCE that it’s a problem with blood sugar (hint, it does affect blood sugar).
“Now, Adebayo said, he tries to wake up earlier and eat a better diet. He counts the carbohydrates in his food so he can correctly dose his meal-time insulin injections. “
Counting is a start, but if he gets much over 20 grams, he’s not doing his body any favors. You can ‘think’ you’re offsetting those carbs with insulin, but you’re actually destroying your body at the same as if you didn’t even take insulin.
“I have called endocrinologists in the Metroplex and beyond,” she wrote in 2017, referring to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “None take Medicaid.”...Low reimbursements are a big reason only 68% of family doctors, who treat most type 2 patients, are willing to accept new Medicaid patients, according to a 2019 federal report.”
Well, if 68% of family doctors, who treat diabetes, take Medicaid, perhaps she should have considered calling one of them. But I do agree with the premise - Medicaid does suck.

There is a great number of publications that show that consuming omega 6 fats reduce the ability to process sugar and causes diabetes.

Yup. At least for myself, a low carb diet has helped greatly. I’ve lost 25 pounds on it and unlike the typical diets focusing on fat, I’m never hungry. I eat a lot of eggs, sometimes 6 a day, along with meats, low starch vegetables, and a little fruit.
