[QUOTE="finsit, post: 2453137, member: 536821"] I have just enrolled myself in a degree level diploma for nutrition therapy so i am interested to see how people react to diets. So what is your average BG and a1c now based on CGM (when you used to wear it) or recent labs? I understand from Dr. Bernstein that BG affect on all mortality is again a U shaped and the best is around 83 mg/dl, below this or above this both are not good if prolonged. I am mostly in 5s and after food in 6s for couple of hours. I have added more carbs after the initial very strict 20-30 gms/day till i got my fasting insulin at 3 which means i didnt have insulin resistance anymore. From my personal experience and a study i read in the past that once you have normal blood glucose and no hyperinsulinemia, the fats around liver are melted, your beta cells start producing insulin more efficiently. I guess this might be the case with you and me and several others. I can have 20-30 gms in one meal now and can not reach 7 as opposed to 3 months ago where half of this amount will take me to 7. EDIT: im talking of low GI carbs here including dates and underground vegetables. A small amount of rice will still send me over 8. [/QUOTE]
