I like Ben Bikman and he's obviously a million-fold more knowledgeable and informed than I could ever hope to be, but I always struggle to fully get behind his views on protein. He seems dogmatically insistent that protein will
not raise glucose in anyone, even those who are insulin resistant. Now, while I'm sure he is correct in his reasoning, we know that many diabetics
are affected by protein. Even those low-carbing. Or in the case of T1,
especially those low-carbing. So what's the crack?
I want to learn more about this but there's definitely something missing from the puzzle. It's all very well dismissing it, but try telling that to those who
do have a glucose response. I don't want to get bogged down with it here, and I'm definitely not looking for a protein debate right now, but there's something about Bikman's position that doesn't sit too well with me. Either he's missing something, or I used to imagine having to moderate my intake in order to maintain low fasting glucose. I know I definitely wasn't imagining it, and I would think neither are all the other diabetics who experience the same thing.
Food for thought. Not looking to derail. That is all
