Carola Bakken abandoned the diabetes advice from conventional healthcare and instead started following a low-carb diet. When she went to the diabetes nurse to tell her that she no longer needed to take medication in the same amount, as her blood sugar was more stable after changing her diet, she received an unexpected reaction. The nurse panicked and told Carola Bakken that she would die from malnutrition.
What is the state of knowledge in healthcare in Sweden today?
Staff at a diabetes clinic can recommend ”chocolate bars with crispbread” to a diabetes patient but become terrified when they hear that patients are eating themselves healthy on their own.
Furthermore, in Carola’s story, the nurse who panicked became very suspicious when her long-term blood sugar was low and stable. She claimed it was too low, meaning ”too good,” and ordered extra checks after consulting a doctor.
