[QUOTE="Sean01, post: 1032454"] I'm NOT a doctor, but I am a biologist (by qualification) and understand some of the issues. Let's put this into terms that everyone can relate to. Imagine you are standing outside freezing cold, with very little in the way of clothing. You are at risk of hypothermia. So you come indoors where it is warm, you have something warm to drink and you put on more clothes. The risk of hypothermia reduces and you feel comfortable - you feel normal, BUT, you know that if you go back outside, even with the extra layers on, you risk getting cold again and you still risk hypothermia. So what do you do? From what you say, it sounds like you have fought your battle and won, but this does not reset the clock to zero. It does not mean you should go back out in the cold and, again, I am not a doctor, You should not go loading up on high GI carbs. Certain foods are not good for you. I'm only type 2 diabetic (recently diagnosed) I am absolutely hell bent on curing myself and staying cured. I will never eat another slice of bread again. Rice and pasta are dead to me. When I do eat cereal, it is usually only one tablespoon full in the bottom of a tea cup - and that's even the low GI stuff.
