Had a chat with my doctor today about my blood glucose figures and menu lists. He thinks that I may be very sensitive to carbohydrates.
Apparently this often appears in families where the previous generations have lived through famine. I have seen postings about this sort of thing online but have never really looked into it.
Has anyone seen anything about this? I would be very interested to see some science on the subject.
I come from an Irish family who stayed in Ireland throughout the famine and after. Been talking with a friend whose family are from Bengal, the seat of the huge Indian famines. His family tree is dotted with people with diabetes and he has a scarily high cholesterol count.
Thanks in advance.
