[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1612671, member: 256617"] Speaking generally low GI for a Type 2 implies the eating of grains and the like, insulin will be circulating in the body for a longer period of time. Some Type 2's also want weight loss so we want the minimal amount of insulin in the body, as insulin can promote weight gain and stall weight loss. Low GI also obviously still has a glucose hit which has to be dealt with and can / will causes blood sugar spikes (albeit not as large as high GI foods) when compared to LCHF foods. Another factor is the more insulin the increase in insulin resistance, and the cycle goes on. In my case you can see in my signature that when I switched from low GI to LCHF my HbA1c went from 41 / 42 to 35 / 36 and I lost weight (whilst keeping muscle). Even if there is a "cure" for Type 2, I will never go back to high / low GI foods. [/QUOTE]
