[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1987340"] Just remember that the glucose in the blood is not the damaging part of diabetes. It’s the glucose elsewhere where it cannot be measured. This is why exogenous insulin and oral hypoglycaemics are not associated with improved outcomes - because they just cram the sugar into the tissues and leave behind clean blood. Whilst the blood glucose is obviously a very useful measure, it should never be viewed as a green light. Putting more sugar in could top it up in one meal. Whereas emptying the body gives you a far greater buffer. Hope I’m making sense. [/QUOTE]
