@ifixhearts Can you address the reverse causality argument… that low cholesterol or low LDL/ApoB levels in some people is related to underlying illnesses or frailty rather than contradictory of the lipid-heart hypothesis? This is often discussed by @NutritionMadeS3
@DikemanDave Kudos also to your doctors. Many would say, “Your A1c is too low. This is dangerous. You need to include more whole grains in the diet. This is too rigid, it’s not healthy.” It great that he’s being encouraged to prioritize his health!
@DrEenfeldt I’ve had dozens of patients tell me that they could never lose weight but then they got really sick, or depressed, or took semaglutide, and lost 30 pounds. There are certainly genetic considerations, but obesity is absolutely a behavioral issue.
We used to have little nutrition data on minority populations. It is so important to understand the clinical outcomes with different populations! Here is a Chinese T2D study. The more we target specific demographics the closer we get to personalized med. https://t.co/67dE5myBcE
PLEASE SHARE! LOW CARB T1DM WIN! Scarlet Mitchell with the beautiful TRUTH in Australian Diabetes Management Journal titled 'Breaking the rules to optimize Type 1 Diabetes Management', regarding her use of Dr. Richard Bernstein's method to manage her Type 1 Diabetes.
@DrSarahHallberg This is the future of diabetes care. We've been using this model for seven years and have been able to help thousands of people around the world after the conventional model failed them. Kudos for validating this model and bringing more exposure to an important modality.
Let's change the diagnostic criterion for Type 2 Diabetes from elevated glucose to elevated insulin. We could diagnose it 10 years earlier & be more likely to treat it with carb restriction instead of giving more insulin.
