The ADA Complete Guide to Diabetes has a chapter about your health care
medical team.
This book ISBN 0-553-57826-X 6.99 US 8.99 CAN
The bottom line is you are a unique individual, and YOU are the head of
the team.
Not to say you have more medical knowledge, necessarily, but that you
know what works for you and what you are capable of doing, and what has
not worked for you in the past.
If a dietician says you must consume more carbs than you are comfortable
with, tell that person it has not worked for you (your daughter?). It
should not be a "fight".Can you bring in Drs. Atkins, Sears or
Bernstein info regarding various levels of low carbing?
I'm sure there are high quality dieticians who are familiar with the
celiac diet, but even then so many have said in the end, many kind of
shrug their shoulders, and say you will become more of an expert at it
than I, because you will live with this diet every day.
Let's face it- the celiac diet-- or what is acceptable in the realms of
grains, is too high in carb for the diabetic carb restrictions. That
leaves low carb options as a means to keep bg's in control using diet,
with very limited grain intake.
The other thing you can do is bring records of what the numbers have
been like while low carbing VS not. Proof is in the numbers.
Good luck with this & keep us posted!
