Janet, you find some very relevant information resources. Thank you for doing this continually. Quote:
Gabbay's knee-jerk reaction is to protect his and his program's credibility. It informs T2D patients that this is a life-long disease, infers they have no control without medications manufactured by big pharma and prescribed by doctors, and sentences people to a deteriorating quality of life until death. BS! To then indicate that it is hard to maintain a WOE that corrects and resolves T2D is the worst insult, as many know that once adapted, LC, Keto, other name for eliminating carbs is easy to follow. We live in a very coddled society that markets foods for rewards and then prescribes medications to hide the side effects resulting from consuming those foods. Special snowflakes, here's a pill to make you healthy . . . . |
Exciting news for Virta! And NC residents with diabetes. Virta's program will be offered free if you have BC/BS insurance, meet guidelines, etc.
BC/BS is almost a monopoly in NC. When we looked at options for a Medicare supplement, it had half the market. There may be more competition now, but this is a Big. Deal.

Wow. This is the first mainstream source to say "reverse type 2 diabetes" is possible!
Our forum has been in hopes that the use of low carb/food management that a growing number of MDs support would somehow strike lightening at the medical establishment and make LC/ keto a universal care option. At turtle pace. But holy cow, for an insurance company to pick up the baton. Wow. Maybe this will bring the change we desperately need. |
