Yes, I find it amazing that doctors recommend hi carb diets to people diagnosed with diabetes. Just plain stupidity. When they were trained they were told it was so, so now they preach it like a religion regardless of the evidence.
It is frustrating to be a family member of a diabetic (in-law)who was given that type of advice. They will follow the dr's advice even if they feel lousy all the time.
A big beef of mine is that it was recommended he use margarine instead of butter. Trans fats are rotten for everyone, not just diabetics.
Is his health better by following dr's orders? He needed a hearth cath last year and is heavier now than he's ever been.
