Starting the discussion with the metric of hypoglycaemia mismanagement produces a very flawed reasoning. Therefore much of the justification that follows is also flawed.
When pantries are bare, T2Ds need to reduce their insulin accordingly: so that’s an education problem, not a food security problem. If they’re not actually malnourished and have a BMI >15 then short periods of fasting will assist most of them in getting off medication. They simply need to space the fasting sensibly and medicate appropriately. Two problems solved.
UC has presentations confirming this.
She is correct that USA has a very toxic food environment. But that’s because USA has a market driven philosophy that succumbs to corruption of regulation through lobbying that is effectively collusion against the taxpayer. Someone somewhere has calculated the easiest way to produce calories that also results in only chronic and not acute disease. The dietary science is distorted. And together it’s assuring more Americans become wards of the state.
Good luck.
