[QUOTE="John93, post: 2200097, member: 518796"] Hi Goonergal, I know that a few diabetes reversal programs use it as a strategy to minimise the BGL spikes after meals but its not the answer to fixing the problem. I agree diet has the most effect long term and I'm only keeping it under control with exercise as a short term management strategy while I try and find what diet works best for me. The programs that use the exercise strategy are Dr Fuhrman's and 2 other online programs called The CHIP program invented by Loma Linda University and Diabetes Undone. (all 3 are in the US) Dr Youngberg consults to both of those programs but not Dr Fuhrman. I notice you mention that when you eat carbs your glucose rises. This is something I've been raising on the forum - even though levels stay OK while on low carb/keto diets, the underlying insulin resistance is not being fixed on these diets and when carbs are eaten, levels rise quickly- to me this is saying the underlying problem still exists and the diets are just managing glucose levels in much same way as meds do. I'm really curious as to why the Glucose Tolerance Test is not being suggested and the A1c test seems to be the test to measure success. I think both are needed to give a truer picture. As I say, I'm new and exploring this site but this is something I am noticing - the use of A1c as a barometer of success, which can be quite misleading it seems to me. [/QUOTE]
