[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2011480, member: 451727"] Thank you for posting this [USER=408573]@Guzzler[/USER], just watched it. It's the sort of thing where you need to watch it ten times and take notes to fully understand (for me anyway) but it is fascinating as you said. For me (as a type 1), it seems to be saying that if I were to eat no carbs (or extremely low) but were to eat something high in protein, my glucagon et al, glucose levels would be stimulated into rising (which I've noticed they do) and I'd then have to take insulin to combat this? The only way to counteract this and prevent the body going through this glucogen process in the first place would be to eat carbs?. This seems like a vicious circle then, eat an amount of carbs to stop the glucagon rising in the first place or eat protein and then have to eat carbs when the glucose rises or stop eating carbs and protein? A low(er) carb diet generally means using less insulin but the downside is you may end up with glucose levels rising anyway if you eat protein! My head hurts. Hope someone comes along to explain it.
