I was shocked when an older friend went to her very small-town doctor, got a T2D Dx, and was told to drastically reduce her carbs! I think she also was put on metformin but did show some progress. She ate her turkey/lettuce wraps for awhile but gradually the carbs crept back into her diet, I'm sorry to say.
My nephew is an MD. He admits that (many/most?) physicians just can't deal with the non-compliance to diet of their patients so even when they are aware that diet could make a huge difference, they just go with the drug. |
