[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 265634, member: 40343"] I take it you mean the GI stuff Jopar. As I wrote above the first post is just a Janine Freeman editoral post in Diabetes Forecast so it's not research as such. I present it more to show that someone with her credentials is recognising (in my opinion) what I and other diet controlled T2's have found to be the case i.e. GI is a fine tool to have in your arsenal of diabetic weapons but it should be secondary to what your meter is telling you. You can find the text I posted all over the internet but it is summarised well here [url]http://www.ndap.org.ph/glycemic-index[/url] That page also holds the ADA's (American Diabetes Association) viewpoint on GI at the bottom Which I'm sure you will see supports my personal viewpoint. The second post is just as far as I can see a study that was done to show weight loss is mostly driven by calorie intake which is a concept I tend to agree with. To show the importance of energy density (calories) they use a low GI diet for comparison. As far as I'm concerned they could have choosen any number of diets as like I say I personally think calories are quite important. The link I found that at was here [url]http://docnews.diabetesjournals.org/content/4/11/4.full[/url]. I just typed the good doctors name into g**gle to get who she was. Given the amount of stuff she has published there are countless sites that have her credentials listed. I think although cannot prove she died earlier this year. The third post is again just to show that I feel carbohydrates take priority by comparing GI against VLC. Again as an "Eat to your meter" person I don't do VLC but I thought the research interesting for people to see. None of the posts are intended to "undermine" the use of GI as like I say I think its a good [u][b]secondary [/b][/u] tool to use. In fact if as T2D you can manage a soley low GI based system and [u][b]keep safe[/b][/u] without having to carb count or lower carbs via plain portion control then fine by me. I would suggest however that people who can do that, especially those on diet only or diet + Metformin, are quite a rare breed. In the UK the concept of GI has been put on a pedestal over the years but just as I have with the Swedish system I wanted to show that other countries do have other opinions on the benefits of GI which can differ quite strongly to the prevailing UK or NHS view.
