[QUOTE="martykendall, post: 853109, member: 178652"] Thanks Phoenix. You always pull out some great references. I'll check them out. I'm learning heaps from your guys. I don't have too many issues with MangoMan's approach, from the reading that I've done of it today. I struggled though with the Dr Greger's video that he had embedded in this post - [URL]http://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/2015/05/reduce-your-insulin-resistance-a-unique-approach-without-cutting-all-your-carbs/[/URL]. I though there were a number of strawmen arguments (as Spiker would call them) to support he high carb / vegan agenda. What Mangoman is saying makes sense if his definition of carbs includes fibre. Increasing fibre will improve insulin sensitivity and gut health and usually come with extra nutrition that you don't get with just fats, which is all good. If you're an active type 1 burning off the carbs it's probably going to work well. If you are more sedentary then less carbs and a bit more fat and protein will probably give you a better HbA1c.
