I don't understand the approach that seems to be pretty much eat
what you want, test, and compensate with meds. Why not pay
attention to carbs in the first place? (I apologize if this is
naive. Because I am not diabetic, my knowledge of that is
somewhat superficial.)


It's a weakness in the allopathic model of medicine that has dominated
for over a century. The model beat out all others and for the first
time in history it became safer to go to the hospital than to stay at
home and hope your injury healed. The model is based on adding
medications to cure existing illnesses and using surgery to remove
problems. Prevention is an afterthought in th emodel.
