    Do we need a new Diabetes Association? [ADA Corrupt?] - 2026

    Do we need a new American Diabetes Association??? The American Diabetes Association (ADA) seems far more interested in protecting the profits of their million-dollar donors than in protecting people with diabetes from severe complications. Low-Carb/Keto diets are the most researched dietary intervention for diabetes and yet the ADA can't seem to publicly recommend this way of eating. The ADA recommending High-carb foods (big-food profits) increases a persons need for expensive medications (big-pharma profits) and medical procedures (big-medicine profits). Who doesn't profit from the ADA's current recommendations? PEOPLE WITH DIABETES, THAT'S WHO! The ADA was started back in 19XX by 6 doctors who got together and said, "We should start a diabetes association", and now the ADA has a 100 million dollar annual budget. We can work together to create a diabetes association that puts people with diabetes first, not last!
