are dr.s really that stupid?

[Strucker]

We are actually at the nerve dr. For the husband. Cause his hands have been going numb, same thing with his feet, cause of the diabetes. The dr. Actually had the audacity to describe to him "the diabetic diet!" Are you for real? He said a "good bread" for "diabetics" is brown bread like pumpernickle? And like white turkey meat. No dark meats and no white bread? Aparantly this guy has never even remotely heard of fat2skinny! "The diabetic diet."I'm gonna have to remember that one.

Thanks for that Doug! The dr. was actually telling us to do weight watchers, and I chimed in and told him about fat to skinny, about how weight watchers and other groups you have to give up the stuff you love, to where as fat to skinny you just replace them to where you aren't starving or doing without. and his response? how does that work? It sounded almost like he didn't believe us? oh well, I don't need to go to school for 10yrs. to figure out a little common since. He even said he was on weight watchers. He did tell us, it is ok to eat pasta as long as it's the dark pasta and breads! How can you tell a diabetic that it's okay to eat breads and pastas??

Hi, Stephanie!

One thing to keep in mind, most doctors are NOT trained in nutrition and how different foods effect metabolism.
And the information they do get, is from the false narrative involving calories and weight.
So it's no wonder your doctor is ignorant about how carbs and "hidden sugars" cause diabetes.

My former doc (now retired) did not believe in FTS either.
When I first described it to him, he scoffed and said I should try the Mediterranean diet.

When I came back 6 months later, after new blood tests and lots of excess fat gone, he became a believer.
It was then he declared I was no longer type II diabetic, and began recommending
low-carb lifestyles to his diabetic and obese patients.
