Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.
Why should he listen to you?
I assuming your advice is based upon "your published" scientific research. The research has been conducted to relevant standards and peer reviewed to the highest degree? Or is this just 100s of anecdotal claims that is used to back up your views and no serious scientific basis behind it? If the answer is as I suspect, then he's absolutely right not to listen to you.
I've no doubt diet and healthier lifestyles can help "reduce" symptoms for certain conditions, even if it's just for mental health or a placebo effect. Lots of the stuff I read is pure pseudoscience and backed up by no real scientific research or clinical trials, which is morally wrong and downright dangerous.
Ah the perfect man big Pharma loves. No doubt you took the 'vaccine' not a question asked?
WTF has the covid vaccine got to do with it. Yes I did take the vaccine and what questions am I suppose to have asked. Is it the same questions I ask when I take any medicine for the first time or is it tinfoil hat questions?
Unless there is "proper science" behind advice, then you might as well be getting a charm from some lad down the pub who claims he has it for diabetes.
