Why am I suspicious of their motives??
When I have looked to the ADA website for info and support, their info imo was in the dark ages. Yet low carb options have been known since 1972, DANDR. Though I bought my first copy and understanding about 2002. Praying more changes to come. |

Good, we are now starting the transition to Phase 3 in the 4 phases of adopting a new dietary and nutrition belief system:
Phase 1) Individual believers who adopt changes on their own with little research and only N=1 experiences. Grass roots. This can be encouraged by early adopters of experts who risk reputation and credibility like Banting, Atkins, Bernstein, Westman, Taubes and others. Phase 2) Some experts from the medical and research communities start to confirm research in clinical settings (Westman, Atkins, Unwin, Hallberg, Gerber, Cummins, Phinney, Volek, Fung, D'Agostino, etc.) fueling broader adoption of N=1 individuals and generating some media recognition, publications, videos in the process. This phase starts to reach more people who are frustrated with current, ineffective recommendations like the DGA. I believe we are in the latter stages of Phase 2 today. Phase 3) Work and recognition from Phases 1&2 start to become adopted by additional organizations who are more risk averse when lending credibility to methods against which they have campaigned in the past. Broader acceptance by the public results in increased awareness of physicians and food manufacturers race to produce products that are "friendly" with this new approach (keto friendly, Paleo friendly, Whole30 friendly, etc.) Dr. Oz has segments on his show strictly due to increased popularity to maintain relevance for his viewers (the ultimate indicator that we're in Phase 3!). Phase 4) Broad adoption and recognition by the public, the medical community, food manufacturers, and other laymen. The pharmaceutical industry will force new drugs on the market to protect their revenue streams, but the tide turns when people realize they can achieve better health with whole foods and not a prescription. The DGAs are updated to recognize the various WOE that achieve health and eliminate all the myths about fats and substitute sugar, sugar producing, and processed foods as the negatives for consumption. |

Or Not! In new guidelines for treatment of T2 overweight children, no mention of Low Carb diets. Frustrating.
The American Diabetes Association misses the mark… again (sigh) https://www.dietdoctor.com/the-amer...mark-again-sigh |

Based on recent studies, supporting publications, and more professionals adopting and promoting a low carb approach, I believe we've now transitioned to Phase 3. Especially with the recent Dr. Oz segments.

Here's the thing:
In the 1970's, I was being raised by my diabetic grandparents. I went to the meetings. I heard ALL the ADA stuff. What they were preaching then was diet and exercise were the best treatment. They went into great detail on how diabetes works, and how bad starches & sugars of any kind are for your body. (My grandparents refused to give up their bread & potatoes, and so remained unhealthy and out of control). Then I grew up. In 2004, I was pregnant with my son, and -- following conventional wisdom and & lacking a support-group to feed me information -- I went OFF my strict Atkins for the baby's sake... and started having health problems. Talked to my OB, and he put me on the gestational diabetes plan.... ...And I couldn't understand it. It was all the foods that -- in my memory -- the ADA had warned diabetics against eating. |
Yup. I dropped all that literature in the trash, and followed DANDR thru my pregnancy. All low carb stuff, just too much of it. A1c was too high at 7.1 and I wish I too had better support at the time.

Dr. Berry's comment about this: Quote:
Here is Joy Kidde's previous longer analysis of the 2019 guidelines, published Tuesday, after the 2019 guidelines were released on Monday. https://www.lchf-rd.com/2018/12/18/...ndards-of-care/ This short summary of where the ADA stands on LC may come in handy. |
That one page summary linked in previous post (now removed) written by Joy Kidde had the ADA symbol on it, confusing to some who did not read her previous posts.
She has taken it off, so new link is to one page summary for your doctor: https://www.lchf-rd.com/2018/12/19/...-page-printout/ It combs through the 2019 ADA Guidelines for mentions of Low Carb as an option and the references used to support it, so your doctor understands LC is now an approved option for diabetes treatment. |

Good to see this in print, as it indicates that acceptance, however marginal at this time, is real. |
