[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1420818, member: 277199"] We may have as much as our body is able to cope...How much is that? Unless we test pre and post meal regularly, we can't really tell. We are all different in our response to various carbs...simply because we have different levels of beta cells impairment, insulin resistance and fatty liver dysfunction. So we have to each find our own comfortable level. The general advice that testing is not helpful for T2D on Metformin, and to eat whole grain simply assumes that we are all the same and can tolerate similar amount and type of carbs. But like our body temperature, our glucose/insulin/ketone levels are designed to work well within a rather narrow range. Living chronically out of that range...always leads to trouble.... [/QUOTE]
