Are your doctors and dieticians going to support this way of eating-probably not. Doctors get no nutritional training in pre-med, residency or post medical degree. The majority of their knowledge comes from nurses, dieticians and their mother. The dieticians are trained by the ADA to eat more carbs, usually between 180 to 200 grams daily. The ADA views diabetes as a progressive disease and if your bs are high eating those carbs its' because they haven't found the right combination of medications for you yet. No I'm not going to tell you to lie to them, in fact what many tell them is that you are watching what you eat, and portion control and that makes them very happy. In time as you get control, your A1C is dropping and your labs are normal you can begin to bring up the subject of how you are doing it. There are some doctors that totally support this way of eating, as they have been reading the literature that they get monthly about diabetes and it's treatments.
