I agree that "communication between physician and patients requires serious improvement." People are told they have Type 2 diabetes, but they are not told that with lifestyle, diet and exercise changes they can reverse it. They are often just given a pill and told that will help. The television is inundated with advertisements for Trulicity and other blood sugar lowering drugs, so people think these are easy ways to solve the Type 2 diabetes problem. But these drugs are very expensive, when lifestyle changes can work just are well. We also have a severe communication problem between nutritionists and patients. People are given the Myplate.gov lecture but that method never made sense to me. Why put that much food on your plate? Now everyone is doing the Keto and other fad diets when they need to do lifestyle changes to make a lasting difference. Learn to eat in moderation and don't fill up your plate; even minor changes to your exercise routine can get rid of "prediabetes."
