      Thx, Carrie. I wrote that response on Medium to correct the misrepresentations. I hope the debate can remain factual.

      I replied on Medium. I was perhaps glib in my original language - my major disagreement is not with the study itself, but with the media coverage that has exploded around it

      Your piece is factually inaccurate & harmful to the T1 community. If you or your child lived for a day with the struggles of Type 1 you would realize what a ray of hope publicity for this treatment strategy is. More studies YES. 1000s doing already w/o help from healthcare team.

      Which part of my piece is factually inaccurate?

      @davidludwigmd covered it very well in his response. Your title however is particularly problematic. A cure was never suggested & you making light of it at the expense of the T1 community to make your point is tone deaf.

      There were any number of news pieces that suggested very strongly that a cure had been demonstrated. As to offense, I certainly didn't mean to poke fun at people with diabetes. I did also respond to @davidludwigmd on Medium

      There will always be an issue with misinterpretation in the media. But let’s not fight misinformation with more misinformation. An honest scholarly debate is welcome and needed, as no study in nutrition can ever be the final word.

      As I said, I look forward to the clinical trials. You've got some fascinating results there

      Although I would argue that there are certainly things you could've done to promote a more honest media representation of the study. That being said, it's a hard thing to control

      Did you argue the same thing when the ‘eating pasta will help you lose weight’ & similar industry-funded ‘articles’ were smothered all over the media?

      Yes. I tweeted about that and wrote a piece that I never published. Look back at my other blog entries, you'll probably enjoy

          I found the entire "pasta will help you lose weight" story amazing, because that wasn't even what the study looked at nor found at all
