I have seen rants against dietary advice from dietitians and diabetes educators on DF since I joined. It’s kinda cool to see newish bloggers making similar observations.

This author subscribes to a similar theory as me about why "they" promote high carb diets. It’s a CYA mentality.
Knowing diabetics would be eating some range of carbohydrate, dose needed to be set in a way to make sure BG didn’t get too high, then admonish patients to get their X number of servings of whole grains & starches. Better the BG gets to high than too low, and if the patient eventually goes blind or has limbs amputated then, well, that’s just an aspect of the disease. But dying of hypoglycemia put blame square on the treating physician. So, for liability reasons, we have high carb diets for diabetics.
I’ve read some of his and his current subject’s writings. Good stuff!
