As an experienced journeyman carpenter I approach my T2D as I would with any bridge I have built and any apprentice I have worked with and taught. There was a post earlier about following the old ADA research and recommendations regardless of what long term diabetics with tremendous success suggested. My first inclination was to ask why are you here? I remember working with a very talented and bright apprentice with a lot of "Book knowledge". However he had also said, after working with me for about a week, that 1/2 of everything he had learned at carpenter school, he had to throw out the window and that there was so much more about carpentry that can't be learned in a classroom but only from an old timer like myself. My point is, knowledge is power but common sense is invaluable and priceless. I want to learn about diabetes from someone who lives with it and has experience that you can't learn from just research. If I don't value another diabetics opinion then why am I even here. Just saying.
