Because MDās donāt know anything about nutrition, and most only care about managing symptoms via medication. Very rarely do they even bring up a lifestyle change that could benefit the patient. Drives me nuts.
Give a man a hammer and every problem is a nail. Give a doctor a prescription pad and every problem requires a medication.
Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solutions is recommended reading for any new diabetics or diabetics who want to improve their lives. It was published in 1997 and the medical community still has not embraced the low carb method of diabetes management. With all the money the medical profession makes from diabetics, couldn't they give each new patient a copy? Could have changed many lives.

maybe they've been trained this way by 9 out of 10 patients that want a script rather than to make a lifestyle change
If I was an endocrinologist, I'd show the stats with diabetics dying a decade or two earlier and then show what they can do to prevent that. Maybe people would care about adding 10 to 20 years to their lives? Maybe it takes a while of being a diabetic to understand how good the low carb diet numbers are but some people would listen if they really pushed the idea. For 45 years, I have heard little to nothing about using a low carb diet to improve my numbers. The talk is always "This is the new drug or device".
you can thank big sugar for their influence on the SAD. Remember the low/reduced fat craze in the 90s? Just replace fat with sugar, because fat makes you fat, duh. I lost count how many people told me I was literally going to die when I switched to keto.
Researching more, I am discovering that a low carb diet may be the single best thing a type 1 OR type 2 diabetic can do. It's almost a crime that so few doctors seem to be familiar with this idea. Diabetics in studies take less insulin and other diabetes drugs once they get on a low carb diet. Some type 2 diabetics have their diabetes practically cured. IMO, this should be the number 1 treatment doctors follow for diabetes. Keto diets reduce weight in normal people but do so much more for diabetics.
Another good video for anyone who wants more info.

i'm counting calories and protein (targeting 2800 200 daily) and have ended up with a bunch of thai keto sauces for my chicken and shirataki noodles (preferred shiritaki with oat) - i can get 200g of shiritaki noodles for about a buck. i think it's over $4 at least on amazon in the US? asian location benefit for me.
today i got a haul of snackies to try with my nightly work coffees. unfortunately the labels seem incorrect in their counts of things, hoping at least the calories are accurate, some of the other values don't add up. don't feel great about the amount of packaging used here. will likely re-up once favorite snackies are identified.

cool, if you go southeast you hit phi phi then my small island (lanta) - i believe phuket was the most touristed place in the world. how dramatically down these places are now is pretty wild.
my coffee journey has gone from mochas to americanos or black coffee, although particularly with the latter i frequently like it with a snacky, thus these keto boys. brownie yesterday was good (just dry) - i'm a lazy shit but homemade protein cookies seem a good thing to make.
i'm not so lazy i won't boil water though (usually) and my shiritaki prep is:
1- start boiling water in a pot
2 - rinse noodles 2 minutes
3 - chuck into pot for 2 minutes
4 - toss dry then chuck into a non-stick pan, with nothing else
5 - keep tossing them around until they make squealy noise (2 min?)
i have shiritaki as noodle and rice, and then some that are mixed with oat fiber. i prefer the latter, they have some better chew.
they come in a bag of lime water (the mineral) and they definitely have a funky smell to them. the prep is all to get them to neutral. have a tried anything not going through the process above, no.
rice form (oat ones are fatter rice) makes straining them a little more of a pain without losing them. no oat they are squishier and even more tasteless so i think they might go well with a soup or something. i like the idea of the shiritaki rice with a thai curry, although i am not currently eating much thai (lots of oil and sugar actually) so i haven't tried a side of these with a curry vs. steamed rice yet. i mostly do the oat form with noodles, then toss on some chicken i nuked from 7/11 w/spicy thai sauce. i'm curious how the noodles would be with some meatballs and tomoato sauce, but i don't have any easy access to lazy meatballs and i'm probably not going to make them. you aren't going to say dayumn, these are the best noodles ever, and you will never have a craving for them. that being said, 200g of the oat version (decent amount) is 50 cal, 2 protein, 10 carb. for shiritaki, 30/0/6, at least of my labeled brands. they are filling and fit a low calorie budget. i'll have some 4+ days a week now. note: they have no real micronutrients and there appears to be some concern about if they will absorb them or reduce bioavailability of them with other foods? i just have them with the chicken and typically eat other filler type foods when i am doing them (like late at night when i'm working) - the only thing i really make a point of is not having my multivitamin with them.
My taste buds seem to have opened up since I went on Keto. I find foods that I thought were blah to be very tasty now. Way more nuances in the flavors.
I had plateau'ed at 214.8 for a few days so I cut down the fat a bit. Now down another pound. 213.0. Amy says she can see my stomach is shrinking.
