$220 million well spent ! Proves NHS,DUK,ADA dietary information for type two diabetics useless !

Keep well away from the NHS,DUK,ADA dietary information if you want to control your type two diabetes !

The most damning piece of information regarding diet for type two diabetics, I have ever read in four years of studying type two diabetes, was the complete failure of the Look Ahead Trial to improve CVD outcomes for type two diabetics. By  using a modest reduction in weight and calorie reduction, the trial participants were on a 55% carb diet, the trial was doomed to fail from day one ! I am wading through a mass of information, but one thing stands out a mile, the pitiful reduction in HbA1c (see chart below). The participants had a top HbA1c of eleven at the start of the trial, higher numbers excluded from taking part. After 11 years of a 13 year trial it was deemed ‘futile’ to continue. No benefits in outcomes regarding CVD among the participants was found. Average HbA1c reduction 0.5% and the boffins expected an improvement in CVD, what planet are these people on !

With the correct diet it would be normal to see massive reductions in HbA1c and vastly improved blood glucose control. Huge reductions in obesity, far better lipid counts and huge reductions in medication used. This has been proved countless times by lowcarbing diabetics, and they didn’t need 11 years and $220 million to find out a way to improve CVD. The good news we see on blogs and forums all over the world, counts for nothing with outfits like the NHS,DUK and the ADA, they call the good news reported ‘anecdotal’ they much prefer to accept the information received from big pharma and junk food companies. The fact that many of these outfits have been fined $billions for lying, bribery and corruption and falsifying drug trial evidence matters not a jot. Why, because the people we should be able to trust have sold out, and put money before peoples health and wellbeing. We need far more people like Bernstein, Wortman, Taubes, Kendrick, Briffa et al. They have the courage to stick their heads above the parapet, and refuse to be lackeys and yes men to stupidity and greed.



Some HbA1c facts

For every percentage point drop in A1C blood test results (from 8.0 percent to 7.0 percent, for example), the risk of diabetic eye, nerve, and kidney disease is reduced by 40 percent. Lowering blood sugar reduces these microvascular complications in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Intensive blood sugar control in people with type 1 diabetes (average A1C of 7.4%) reduces the risk of any CVD event by 42 percent and the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from CVD by 57 percent.

(and sorry for another epic post, I shan't return to this subject ... since I still think it's a storm in a rather expensive teapot)

From Poison Ivy on DCUK

Poison Ivy could not keep away and did return to the subject!

This is a quote from her.

"I discounted the WLR but I could have linked to stories of people who have managed to both lose lots of weight and maintain it."

But can she link to stories about type 2 diabetics who have followed the ADA diet lost weight maintained it and kept off medications.

Just who are these mythical people she refers to, having discounted the evidence from LowCarbers at DCUK she now chooses to cite untraceable stories.

I'll up the ante and put forward more evidence of LowCarb success here http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=86 anecdotal yes but unlike phoenix and her mythical stories you can read the actual accounts.

Right here is the right website for anyone who would like to understand this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a subject which has been discussed for years. Great stuff, just wonderful!
