[QUOTE="Celeriac, post: 928150, member: 188243"] I recently discovered the Insulin Index which is beneficial because it shows me which foods, although low carb, are insulinogenic. Insulin doesn't just shove glucose into cells, it also shoves amino acids in, so although beef and fish are basically zero carb they are insulinogenic. It also explains why my night-time 'dose' of creme fraiche keeps my liver from dumping and pushing my FBG up first thing. 100g of my fave organic creme fraiche is 40.3g fat, 2.7g carbs, 2.0g protein and 382 kcal. It seems to give my stomach dragon something to amuse itself with overnight, my liver doesn't feel the need to dump therefore and being low in both carbs and protein it has a FII of 4% i.e. only 4% of the calories are insulinogenic so it doesn't raise insulin or BG much. I think it would be helpful to know whether we are massively resistant to insulin or not making enough, (or both), yes. Dr Jason Fung, the Canadian nephrologist, says that high BG is the symptom not the cause of diabetes, that the cause is high insulin. So having good BG control doesn't mean that the diabetes is cured or in remission. My journey on getting my body's insulin levels down has only just begun and may involve intermittent fasting later.
