My dr. is an endocrinologist. THEY DEAL STRICTLY WITH DIABETICS. All
the information she has given me has been checked by ME with the ADA
so yes I do trust her. My sister has a nurse friend who works for the
ADA and I check on anything my doctor says with her. She has been with
the ADA for 24 years. Should I trust her????

Personally, I wouldn't. The ADA is notorious for their concentration on
low-fat and not on the carbohydrates which are the things that make the
blood glucose numbers high.

I have plenty of ADA recipes that are so high in carbs that they are
laughable. Desserts that are 45 grams of carbs (the entire 3 carb-count
servings permitted in your diet).

The ADA does some good things and we have been members for many, many
years, but their recipes are silly.
We don't have any nutritionists here in Fairbanks. I would have to
travel to Anchorage which is 500 miles south and our insurance won't
cover the trip or the nutritionist because they charge almost $300 an
hour.
