Yeah, I literally have almost NO carbs in my diet and when I say no carbs, I mean no simple carbs. Complex carbs like veggies, yes. I eat no breads (which is a challenge, lol) no rice of any kind so my only vice is this one thing and its extremely limited.

So here's a question: are you on Metformin? If so, Metformin reacts with alchohol. For example if I REEEAALLYY WANT to cheat, I can have 1 shot of Bourbon and wait 20 min and then eat something ridiculous like ice cream and have absolutely NO impact from that sugar. Its stupid and dangerous...

Little update: So I added a Taurine supplement to my diet in the same amount found in the Red Bull. Sadly it had no impact at all so I guess its not the Taurine but the sugar free Red Bull and Snickers combo is absolutely reliable as clockwork at pushing the glucose level down. And no, I will...
