Kudos to nutritional and metabolic expert Ron Rosedale, M.D. (author of The Rosedale Diet) for insisting that physicians are dispensing bad advice to diabetics about sugar intake.
In his fascinating article on the very popular website mercola.com, Dr. Rosedale says he’s been "incensed" for decades by the traditional medical treatment, which makes insulin-resistant diabetics (the vast majority) worse rather than better.
"Diabetics have been told that they can eat meals multiple times daily that turn into sugar and even sugar itself, as long as they take enough insulin to lower their blood sugar," Dr. Rosedale aptly notes.
"The importance of limiting the intake of sugar and foods that turn into sugar has been almost totally ignored," argues Dr. Rosedale, founder of the Rosedale Center in Denver, Colorado and co-founder of the Colorado Center for Metabolic Medicine in Boulder, Colorado.
Hurrah for Dr. Rosedale for boldly asserting that for the most part, among fellow doctors, there’s been "virtually no recognition that high levels of insulin are at least as much of an insult to a person’s health as high levels of sugar."
It’s increasingly heartening when M.D.s speak out to draw attention to the inadquacies of their fellow doctors.
While researching and writing my book SUGAR SHOCK! for the past few years, I, too, was stunned by how many physicians — even ones who specialize in diabetes — allow their patients to consume sweets and much-like sugar foods.
Interestingly, Dr. Rosedale believes that "the progression and deterioration of so-called type 1 and type 2 diabetes into one another should more appropriately be called Doctor Induced Exacerbation or DIE, stressing the significance of current medical treatment as the cause of type 3 or double diabetes."

One thought on “Doctors’ (D.I.E.) Role in Double Diabetes”
It’s alarming what false teachings these doctors are telling us! They just don’t want to ailenate their paients by allowing them to eat what they want, and letting them hear what they want. Diabetes is a very serious affliction, and shouldn’t be treated like a cold or cough. Doctors shouldn’t be afraid to tell patients the cold, hard facts about their ailments.
