[QUOTE="martykendall, post: 853012, member: 178652"] I have added the following comment near the end: "There is still quite a degree of scatter in this real life data. This could be due to measurement error in the macronutrients, food quantity, the characteristics of the people that the food was tested on, real life measurement error or something else. However, it helps better predict insulin demand than carbohydrate alone. The fact that there is still a high degree of variability in the data and hence limited ability to accurately predict the insulin response to food can be mitigated by keeping the overall insulin load of the diet reasonably low. Dr Richard Bernstein talks about the ‘law of small numbers’ whereby the compounding errors in the calculation of insulin requirement and the mismatch of insulin response with the rate of digestion misalign means that it is impossible to accurately calculate insulin dose. The only way to meaningfully address this is to keep the overall insulin demand low." I appreciate what you're saying about over emphasising the R2. While there is an improvement in the correlation, the main aim was to deal with the obvious issue of protein causing an insulin and blood sugar reaction that was not dealt with by the carbohydrates alone.
