Let’s play Diabetes Mythology Bingo. How many of these have you heard this week?

@BarryCPearson And that’s a horrid standard deviation - mine is usually under 20 - but I’m not editing out or photoshopping things to make myself look better. (As some folks accuse those of us who follow Dr Bernstein)

@BarryCPearson Dexcom, using the xdrip app.

Argentina’s National Basketball Team is following a KETO diet. It just made it to the Final of the WorldCup (USA will figth 5th place) Worried/obsolete Traditional Nutrinionists in Argentina published an statement warning about the dangers of KETO (?) @KenDBerryMD @SBakerMD 🤷‍♂️

@NoonesFirstNan @DikemanDave @MiriamETucker @USCWestDiabetes It usually never is accounted for, because the only way not to need to do that is to follow a low carb diet - which the majority believe is dangerous, non-nutritive, orthorexic, and brain damaging.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@KenDBerryMD I now use between 20-25% of the total amount of insulin I used to need (more in summer, less in winter). A HUGE savings. Eating low carb (a la Dr Bernstein’s plan) has also saved me money on food.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@MiriamETucker There's a steep learning curve but simply working to have insurance to pay for not learning doesn't seem to be the correct answer to me

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@kylejguy5 You’re not convincing me. . .

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@USCWestDiabetes @MiriamETucker I’m so fricking tired of “time in range” being used as a measurement of management success, when the range being used is KNOWN to promote complications. Sure, raise the range to 180, then everyone can say they are in range 90% of the time.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@AADEdiabetes Then you need new reviewers: reviewers who are up to date on the multiple-approved dietary patterns for eating to manage diabetes. And competent UX designers, to design a label for those who cannot use current nutritional labels.

...a little logic I threw together one evening on #cholesterol a few years back - came up in facebook "memories" just now.

Hasn't changed.

@ryanattar @AADEdiabetes @VinnieTortorich @DikemanDave Predicted response from @VinnieTortorich: “JHC!”

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@AADEdiabetes Deeper relevancy for the profession will come when more people manage to lower their A1c, avoid the complications of hyperglycemia and experience lower distress from their condition.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@AADEdiabetes “Healthy meals.” No macronutrient composition or other nutrients in the recipes, and utilizing the now-discarded “plate” info as healthy? AADE, I am a member and I am frustrated that your recommendations are not even keeping up with the current ADA Guidelines and standards.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@AADEdiabetes How long must we wait? Your recent push to change the title of your professionals reflects a greater interest in justifying a larger scope and larger payments for the services of diabetes educators than it does actually educating and caring for the people with diabetes.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@usambcuba St Dev way too high (I like it 20 or under), but this period included an adjustment from Humalog to Regular in my pump. A1c still predicted <5.0%.

[Blue Frog Diabetes @BlueFrogCare]

@usambcuba And I believe they should be transparent about their own A1c if asked.
