Hey, easy with the words, there. There's a reason why dibteaics need to watch their calories and carbs. First of all, a diet rich in carbohydrates can spike the blood glucose levels after meals and in a normal person, the blood glucose can normalize within a few hours. People with diabetes have a harder time normalizing theirs because of the total lack of, or a decrease in insulin.A persistently high blood glucose level can damage the blood vessels, thereby leading to the numerous complications in the heart, eyes, kidneys, etc. The aim of modifying a diabetic's diet is to keep the blood glucose at a level near the normal. This basically means lessening on the carbohydrates, refined sugars, and starches Diabetics can actually enjoy food by choosing those with low glycemic indexes..While the meal plan may seem insane' to you, you should take it as just that- a sample. There's a variety of food perfectly safe for dibteaics, and doctor's really aren't starving them. In fact, we encourage the patients to have small, frequent feedings to curb hunger. Food intake depends on the person's total caloric requirement. This is used to calculate the total proteins, fats, and carbohydrates the person ideally needs in a day. But allowances can be made to a tolerable limit, again depending on the person's stature. AND P.S! > There is currently no cure for diabetes; it stems from the inability of the pancreas' beta cells to secrete insulin. It can only be managed by exercise, a good, balanced diet, and adherence to the prescribed medications. Current researches are underway to provide Diabetics with treatments which may lessen the burden of having to inject insulin. Diabetes can be managed, and the health professional does not want to make them SICK. It's their job to look out for you and prescribe what may be good for you, but not for other patients.

I wtaned to spend a minute to thank you for this.

the number of frgoien medical graduates (FMG's) is known as all have to get credentialed through ECFMG based in Philly. as far as I know the latest numbers show a decrease in the number of frgoien docs coming in the US as there are better job prospects for them now in their own countries. most of them come from India, China, Arab world and Eastern Europe and most of these countries have enjoyed rapid economic growth in the last decade allowing them to invest masivelly in new medical facilities. India is now one of the top exporter of medical services - hundred of thousands of pacients from developed world (including ten of thousands Americans) and rich from emerging countries travel to private Indian hospitals to get surgery at lower prices than offered in their countries ( knee and hip replacement, coronary bypass are at 1/3 to 1/2 of the prices charged by American and UK hospitals). some of these hospitals have US accreditation and all of their physicians are trained and licensed in the US or UK. US is still the world largest provider of medical services for frgoien citizens but private hospitals in India, Thailand and Mexico are getting an increasing share of this lucrative market ( as the medcal tourist are paying cash for their services; some US insurance companies started paying for procedures outside of the US also if the hospitals meet US accreditation standards). on the same page a larger proportion of the ones who did come to US for training (via residency programs in American university hospitals)choose to return to their countries or go to the Gulf states where is increasing demand for their skills and US requires them to go to medically underserved areas in the US in order to receive US resident status.
