Message: <blockquote data-quote="Providence 62" data-source="post: 1990882" data-attributes="member: 153605">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.P</blockquote>
