Oh, I'm just back after a long bout of trying to do it the ADA way my drs ordered and am almost back to my starting point with the addition of an insulin pump attached to my side....I finally talked to the diabetes dr and got her to understand that my body can't handle the amount of carbs they wanted me to eat and after keeping a food journal for several months with my skyrocketing blood sugars logged she finally digressed and said she wouldn't recommend it for most of her patients, but that if thats what it took for me to get things under control so was supportive. She also mentioned that some of the medical community in general was becoming more accepting of low carb living.

LOL, NOT going to mention this to my fam dr until I'm well underway as she went so far as to gather up a bunch of "the evils of Atkins" and NO low carb diets for diabetic info and put it into a folder and have her nurse call me to come pick up some info the dr wanted me to read.

She turned over every aspect of my diet/diabetes to the endocrinologist when I was put on the pump, so I'm just not going to address the situation with her.

Anyway, I'm of a mindset that yes, what someone else said on here is true...the more diabetics there are the more $$ the pharmaceutical companies/medical community makes so why would they encourage a natural way to decrease meds and treatment???

Sorry about the rant...lol, probably not a good way to start my first day back on the boards!
