[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2354411, member: 41885"] I think, as a general point, that the difference in response to various dietary interventions depends on if the person has type 2 diabetes or hypoglycemia etc versus ones with a normal response to carbs. Plus the severity of the impairment of insulin response. Perhaps that is not being sufficiently focused on in this thread. It is unhelpful to compare interventions for those without impaired insulin response with those who have an impairment. Like is not being compared to like. CICO may well work for the majority of those without an impaired insulin response. However, most of us who are responding on here have a different insulin response, for various reasons, to carbs. Hence our experience being outside 'normal' textbook results for those with healthy insulin responses. Further, low carb is usually cited as less than 130g a day of carbs. Due to the varying severity of impairment of insulin response stated by posters on here, such a level is insufficient to overide our impairment, so standard low carbing doesn't help. We have to go much lower. Even 100g a day is too much. This may be why some trials and studies on the effect of low carbing appear to have not helped. The amount of carbs eaten at one time can also affects us, as can the type of carbs [/QUOTE]
