Dr Whiting on Paula Deen and Diabetes Part 1

[CureType1Diabetes]

Shameful condescending opening - most especially from a "Doctor". How self-serving you are showing your book and promoting what you have to sell while putting someone else down. Every person deals w/ diagnosis of a chronic illness on their own way.Your dearth of empathy raises a bright red flag to avoid going to you for any advice. Paula Deen's food is not much different in fat, calories and simple carbohydrates than 90% of the shows on The Food Network. Stop the blame.

@CureType1Diabetes Thank you for your comment. If you review my video again, you will see that I was not in fact criticizing her or the recipes on her program. In fact I was taking issue with the media who has been attacking her relentlessly since this came out. I actually came to her defense more than once in this video. What I said was that she was following a lifestyle in the south that she grew up with.

I also said that she likely had no idea until very recently that she had developed diabetes. If you will view it again you will hear at the end that I said that her situation was more environmental and certainly not her fault. What I also said was that what she does from not on will matter much more and how she takes responsibility from now on is far more important.

I have had type II Diabetes in my family line for as long as I can remember. Because of this when I began my research into alternative methods of managing chronic disease, diabetes was the first one I address. We have been successfully helping many thousands of people to better manage their type II Diabetes through proper diet, supplements, and exercise.

Excess carbs = yes, insufficient exercise = yes, but one thing I did not hear mentioned is alcohol consumption, which is a major contributor of simple carbs. Meanwhile, I've never understood why she was featured so much with her style of cooking. We do know better!

ps

how about some biscuit with gravy an grits ;-)

@STPlfld Alcohol in its pure form, with out mixers provide Zero Carbs. The carbs in these drinks come from the sweet mixers, many people believe that alcohol is a carb but it is not, at all. That is not to say that excess alcohol consumption can not negatively affect the diabetic, but it does so due to the involvement of the liver, not because it’s a carb.
