Diabetes: Doctor Bashing was Hippocratic oath

You are very lucky with your doctors, although how anyone can like a gynecologist (‘scuse me here males on the list) is beyond me, lol, that is one thing I truly hate, going to the gynecologist, I mean the indignity of it all! Anyway, I digress.
I will agree that perhaps some needless doctor bashing does go on but….I think much of it stems from being frustrated by doctors who can’t or won’t look beyond ADA guidelines (and that is a soapbox I will not get up on right now!). I personally know just how frustrating it can be to have a doctor sit there and tell you that low carb will NOT help lower your BG’s when I am sitting there with a written log showing just the opposite AND my meter showing exact matches for my log entries. Did he think I was lying about it? Why in the world would I do that! I do have a doctor at the clinic I go to (not the same one as above) that is very open minded, as a matter of fact the first time I saw him I was sitting in the exam room reading “The Diabetes Solution” by Berstein & he actually knew who he was and applauded me for reading the book! And agreed that low carb would help! Unfortunately he is in VA and I am currently in OH although hopefully (crosses fingers) I will be back in VA soon.
