Thanks, Frank!

Word count for 'diet' - 1:
"Weight loss through a healthy diet and increased physical activity
helps prevent or delay type 2 diabetes,"
Word count for 'carbohydrate' - 0:

But if you did into the protocol, they prescribed a high-carb diet,
and then countered it with massive meds.

MORE: "Patients with type 2 diabetes should not be alarmed by these
findings of the ACCORD trial. Most individuals with type 2 diabetes
who are similar to the participants in ACCORD are not being treated to
the very low goal of the ACCORD intensive treatment group. This goal
of less than 6 percent A1C is very hard to reach for most patients who
have had diabetes for several years, ..."

In other words, when we treat this deadly disease aggressively, we
kill people. But don't worry, your doctor probably isn't treating your
deadly disease aggressively at all. :-b

To see pictures of many diabetics who are successfully maintaining

Dr Bernstein pushes his patient to aim for A1c's between 4.2 and
