[QUOTE="52O342UOIF, post: 933103, member: 204586"] Yes, I've thought about that. Especially considering many doctors still recommend (by official guidelines) a lot of carbohydrates to diabetics, and has for quite some time now. If you're not a child/teenager there's not (that I've found at least) studies that supports the claim that a diabetic should eat carbs to every meal. A good read about it is "[I]The Laws of Small numbers - Diabetes solution.[/I]" As for the experiment I was thinking about since I'm getting a CGM compare two weeks of seperate diets. One where I eat as recommended, >30 g of carbs/meal I believe the guidelines is here at least. And another week where I cut out carbs as much as I can. It would be interesting to compare average glucose over the respective week. I'm not sure how big the difference would be, my last A1c was 37, and I eat a lot of junk food (honeymoon). Another experiment would be to try and calculate how much alcohol replaces the livers glucose output. I'm unsure of how to do that though, if even possible in practice. Thanks for the answer! :) [/QUOTE]
