Folks like Dr. Thomas Dayspring and Dr. Tara Dall of the National Lipid Association certainly see this and have offered very specific guidelines when we should not just default, but run to a ketogenic/LC diet. If the individual shows A1C above 6.5 and trig's above 200 we have significant pancreatic beta cell damage. We are now looking at a situation akin to the spiral-down of the honeymoon phase of type 1 diabetes. Ie. a limited run of any type of endogenous insulin production. Solution? Dramatically limit carbs, reestablish the neuroregualtion of appetite (unless someone is too impulsive to live within these constraints...) get the body fat down and activity level up. This approach saves lives. Well, so long as people are aware it is an option.
That Evelyn cannot make heads or tails of the science is kind of pathetic at this point. But the fact her broken psyche does not allow her to STFU and take a powder when the big kids are talking about things that they actually do for a day job...I'm not really sure HOW to categorize that.
Yes, I'm not sure even 5PD covers it... From 'The Sociopath Next Door'. Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack. Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others. Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity. Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don't actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do. Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it!
