Dec. 2023 article from The Guardian.
After a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Journalist Neil Barsky initially followed his doctors advice and began insulin injections. He also did his own research and found a community already aware of the root of the problem. After cutting out the carbs, he dropped his A1C, got off medications, and now considers himself cured.
“To his credit, when my doctor saw my blood sugar numbers, he took me off all medication. “You don’t need me any more,” he said. But he also evinced a shocking lack of curiosity about what I did to lower my A1C so dramatically.

I didn’t ask him if he was aware that the top five funders of the ADA are the pharmaceutical companies Abbott, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and Co, Novo Nordisk and Regeneron.”
