Today, with the benefit of a great workout program and a Primal diet, I am 75 pounds lighter and I take -0- insulin and -0- medications. My latest blood work showed NO EVIDENCE OF DIABETES NOR OBESITY!
I have been insulin and medication free for about 6 months. Because I know how utterly confusing and hopeless life can be when diagnosed with diabetes, I have attempted to reach out to "spread the word" about Paleo / Primal eating and living. I often "befriend" people in social media groups and strike up a conversation.Bloody good question.
Multiple times -- I'd say at least 4-5 times -- I have began a conversation with a "Certified Diabetes Educator". EVERY SINGLE TIME -- NO EXCEPTIONS -- they do not HAVE A CLUE when it comes to Paleo / Primal eating. Honestly... I find this disgusting. Especially when I have to hear (or read) how they are required to go to X number of hours of recertification classes and how they are trained on the latest...blah, blah, blah. ALL of this is bad enough, but here's the kicker...
THEY ATTEMPT TO CONVINCE ME TO STOP!!! ...And go back to eating grains, beans, rice, pasta etc. THE AUDACITY!!! EVEN AFTER they know that I have lost weight and kicked diabetes in the ass they try to get me back on the train...the train to hell.
WHY? Why would they do this?????!
But they know what to do to Steve: they're trying to shut him up. He's making them look bad, isn't he?
*ADA = American Diabetes Association
Yes, they are trying to shut him up. And it's not only because he's making them look bad, it's because he's making them look *extremely* uneducated and shows that they're merely regurgitating what they're told, not what they're researching...or in Steve's case, what he's clearly shown them to be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI mean, after all, Merck and Novo Nordisk don't make any money if people don't have diabetes and take insulin. So it's no coincidence that both companies are corporate sponsors of the ADA. There's definitely collusion going on.
