Read this excerpt today in an article:
"Before turning to prescribe medications, Sodicoff believes in teaching his obese patients without diabetes to focus on lifestyle changes first.
“High-fat, moderate protein, low-carb diets can perform amazingly well in most patients,” said Sodicoff. “It’s always the first approach to which medications are then occasionally added."
A doctor actually said this! YES! they are finally getting it.
Here is the link for the full article (its about the medication I'm taking)

That's pretty much what my brother did...with no tracking he got his A1C down from 10 to about 6.5 just eating meat and vegetables while cutting out breads and pastas. He did end up taking metformin, but it was an amazing amount of progress just from changing food.5

Is that medicine really $700 per dose? Good grief!!
It is wonderful that some doctors are beginning to get it!! I told my doctor ,yesterday, that I eat ketogenic and he was happy, where four years ago he said I needed a balanced diet after I told him that. It’s taking a while but some of them are coming around!3
