sugarless sue said:So the more correct statement to make is that low carbing may be dying out amongst your clientelle
Would it be correct to say that most people on here who are not low carbing are sorting their bg lvels by having meds of some sort? Or do they just go for higher levels and say well that will have to do?
Terribly sorry to irritate you by having medications.

This is anecdotal data of my own - remember I see many people over the course of a month!
It is interesting that low carbing generally seems to be dying out. Who knows what will come along next but low GI is still popular but really that is what we have been doing for years.
The replies I’ve seen so far have come as no surprise they were what I suspected sadly..
In fact, a retrospective analysis of the Nurses Health Study showed no differences in weight change over time between women who ate meals proportionally higher in carbohydrates vs those higher in fats and proteins but nor were rates of cardiovascular events higher in the low-carb group during 20 years of follow-up. A closer look at the types of foods being eaten, however, suggested that diets with a higher glycemic load were strongly associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, while women who ate a high proportion of fats from vegetable sources may actually lower their risk for disease.
To date, the available evidence is insufficient to support any direct linkage between chronic periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases, as noted in a June 2002 JADA supplement (Adobe PDF) , and the same is true of dental plaque and arterial plaque.A related study in the same JADA supplement (Adobe PDF) reported only a moderate association—but no casual relationship—between periodontal disease and heart disease. At present, several long-term studies are underway to determine causality and to evaluate the effectiveness of periodontal interventions in reducing the incidence of heart disease and cardiovascular events
