For the very same reason that I will invariably touch anything with a sign saying "wet paint" ;-)

To be fair to Sid he did extract the info from the net, Im more than happy to accept the rule of the Internet of half truths has kicked in on that respect. I do appreciate your comments on this and do also admit to massive carb binges ( 3 packs of Jaffa cakes in one go, for example) in the bad...

BOOM! When society as a whole grasps that the move to low fat, high carb diets was a disaster the better we would all be and T2 could be all but eradicated in a generation. Of course, this ain't going to happen!

Well....things developed after. My BG was fine and then spiked up to 8.4 For a hour BUT this was 4hrs after eating. Of course, this must be due to the bread hitting my system. I wonder just how many people have a meal with foods with various GIs and present a normal readings at the 2hr interval...

Well...apart from a bit of a debate, it went well. BUT...don't you do it. I may see a rebound during the night, though I'll cross that bridge as and when.

EXACTLY! Pls see above.

I'm not recommending anything and I do sympathise with anyone who has tried this and then gone back to the dark side. To be totally clear. I craved nothing. it was an out and out experiment as discussed with Mezza and the OP (jamR) the other evening. This honeymoon started in October and I'm was...

No different to a bottle of lucozade or that god awful stuff that you're given when undertaking an IGT.

I did it as an experiment.....and my bloods are now a totally normal 5.6 mmol.

That non diabetics can hit high BG levels...

Yes...my carb addiction helped me to gain 3 stone in the first place. I'm now NOT addicted to carbs, as I clearly stated that I won't do it again as I didn't enjoy it. I'm not encouraging anything of the sort. You'll see that Muzza was going to try a IGT at the Drs in a controlled environment...

Sid Bonkers of this Parish said this once.... There have been very few studies done on bg levels in non diabetics for fairly obvious reasons, why would they? One that did reported that many non diabetics can spend an average of 45 minutes a day over 11 mmol/L. The idea that non diabetics never...

YES. But I was speaking to Muzza about testing the results. The only way is to push yourself to the extreme and see how the body copes with a stupid amount of carbs. It seems that, all in all, it's going quite well. Not 'cured' but easily controlled.

Yes...and if we watch our carbs then we don't spike, as there is nothing to create it. ?..to a degree. Oh, there was another typo...you haven't knocked any wind etc... Far from it, it's always good to hear another voice singing from a similar hymn book.

BLOODY HELL....it's now at 6mmol. At 23:18 .So it's dropped 4.9 since 22.16. Now, I don't really know what to think about that but it does lend itself to me being IGT rather than type 2.

Typo OVER measure...

No problem at all.... I'm a realist however, your test is flawed....possibly. You may easily have spiked sky high quickly but the standard test is 2hrs pp. ...and you passed. according to my latest mega carb binge, I've come in not too bad. It's safe to assume that my meter tends to slightly...

By my best guess I had about 100g of carbs. the OGT suggests about 75g. After two hours normal would be 7.8mmol. IGT is less than 11. So it isn't that bad. What I won't be doing is this test again ( I also had a twirl, I forgot to mention), as I didn't particularly enjoy it.

Not good.... 10.9mmol. I now going to see what the net says. However, on that score I would suggest that I'm always going to be type 2, unless I watch my diet. However, I really did abuse it and even that figure isn't the end of the world. Will check it again at midnight and see how it goes. I...

SO...I've deliberately just been on a carb binge. My PP bloods was 7mmol which high for me ( a strange day). I've now had a baguette, filled with Gouda, 6 custard cream type of biscuits and a pint of semi skimmed milk ( for my health). I don't expect to present much under 9mmol in two hours...
