[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2009450, member: 480869"] The protocols you mention are sadly not uncommon and whilst may be an improvement on the prediagnosis diets of some are still very carb laden for many if not most type 2’s. They may be a little more helpful than a general diet in slowing the decline into diagnostic levels but are not likely to reverse it in many. It depends how much you are ready and able to use diet as a control method I guess. In the general,population I can only assume the powers that be think a little change by lots of people is better than a lot of change in some. I want a lot of change in me! The gradual decline of those following those same protocols (ie diabetes is a degenerative condition and until recently believed irreversible in any sense of the word) has done little to help the population and ever increasing numbers of diabetics diagnosed! As far as testing goes this is a thinly disguised cost cutting measure. How on earth are you to know what a meal does to you and it’s suitablitity if you don’t check it. Would you cross the road with a blindfold on ? Correctly done it can provide a wealth of indisputable evidence of how food affects YOU. Some people only test for a while til they get to grips with their typical (new) diet and then only if they try new things. Although food is the most important it’s not the only factor. Exercise,stress, illness, sleep, medications all have a role too but are not always as controllable. The 10g /100 rule is a bit arbitrary. If you’re eating a tiny portion of something then that’s great. If it’s a large portion then no so good. Perhaps it’s a good starting point whilst you get used to looking at foods in the light of carbs but overall carbs, both per meals and per day is probably more relevant. [/QUOTE]
