Comment on Why does the American Diabetes Association push insulin?

Comments

When I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 my doctor pushed the standard drugs on me without mentioning the alternative. When I found out about low carb, tried it and succeeded with it, my doctor just smiled and nodded. He wasn't surprised. But he was entirely unwilling to deviate from the standard of care dictated by the tablet he carried around. He was a very experience well trained doctor ... acting like a clerk performing a script.

I wonder why there is such a widespread distrust of authority in this country?
