Question:
I am really just curious as to what differences in nutritional
advice is given between the American Diabetes Association
and the American Diabetic Association.
Answer:
The difference being each Association has a particular goal. The
American Dietetic Association is to serve a basic nutritional goal.
The American Diabetes Association is specifically charged with the
task of aiding people with Diabetes. Diabetics have different needs
than the public at large. And the American Diabetics Association does
NOT have a specifically recommended diet. Therefore, as I stated, if
a member of the American Diatetic Association (which is essentially a
professional membership organization) tells you that you are being
given an OFFICIAL DIET OF THE AMERICAN DIABETIC ASSOCIATION, then you
are being misguided with out dated information, because the American
Diabetic Association does NOT have an official diet.
