[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 687761, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]It's not a myth if you have type 2 diabetes. If you can eat lots of carbs without your blood glucose going to diabetic levels, then you are not diabetic. Of course, you could be a diabetic and still tolerate moderate amounts of carbs, but not all diabetics can. Talk about confusing - I'm not sure how someone can be diagnosed as diabetic with normal blood glucose levels. That defies logic. Diabetes is diagnosed based on elevated blood glucose levels - i.e. above "normal". What exactly did your doctor tell you about how you were diagnosed? Or do you mean they are normal now (i.e. HbA1c between 4.6 and 5.4%)? (see [url]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/16422495.php[/url]) Also, it's curious that you think we need carbs. True, if you are doing heavy labour or are a high performance athlete, carbs can be a good fuel, but for most people under normal circumstances don't need much. I eat less than 75 g of carbs a day and am quite able to hike 20k in the mountains or run 10k on this level of carb intake. I recommend you thoroughly explore the Blood Sugar 101 web site: [url]http://www.phlaunt.com/[/url][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]It will explain (almost) all.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
