Interesting article - thanks. I’m certainly not doing more than 20 gms a day at the moment. I’m due my full bloods mid Jan and that will show how liver etc is but so far I am losing weight still and stab test BG is improving.

I too was advised by both nurses and docs not to test. Although I now have a meter I don’t necessarily disagree with them as one can become fixated on the meter and end up living by it when really a good diet and active lifestyle is most likely the best one can do to keep t2d under control.

Hi Sally
RS is said to help as a prebiotic and improve gut flora. I’ve just had a serious hit of antibiotics which more than likely has killed most if not all of my good gut bacteria.
The fact it passes through to the colon is good - otherwise I’d be cramming carbs (imho they are the enemy).
Any...
