Greetings to all

[lauricags]

I just joined this group not because I have diabetes, but because my work involves helping people that do. I received a "Google Alert" for Low Carb / ADA and clicked onto a post by Janke at this site. She was upset that the ADA recommends a carb rich diet for people with diabetes.
Janke I commend you for your courage to question your doctor & the ADA and I would like to offer you several resources that may help you. First, see the Nutrition & Metabolism Society website and browse the diabetes section. It is loaded with valuable resources to help you improve your health. It includes the latest science on carb restriction for people with diabetes. This is real science - current research from the leading scientists in the field of nutrition. Science that for unknown reasons is not being formally recognized by the ADA and other large governing organizations. Science that will improve the quality of your life dramatically!
Second, get a copy of Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution and read it cover to cover.
All the best to you !

You guessed it. My question to you is in your work have you come across literature on the subject of cardiovascular neuropathy? I am driving people up the wall I am sure. I am in the 2% of diabetics that have neuropathy other than periphal. I find very little information on this subject. Any help will be appreciated.:(

Hi Laurie, thanks for sharing.

Jan, google the term "autonomic neuropathy" which includes the condition you are describing. Many older diabetics deal with this in some form or another, most commonly gastroparesis.

Jan -
The experts I would direct you to are Dr. Mary Vernon (Ask Dr. Vernon (http://rjr10036.typepad.com/askdrvernon/)) and Dr. Eric Westman of Duke University.
Hope this helps!
:)

Did go to the web site. Put in the name of the problem in the search engine and would you believe one of the things it brought up was my question to you?

I did post a question on one of her articles. Lots of information I could read for hours. Did not find a way to send a direct question or am I missing something?
