[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1572045, member: 216415"] This may be interesting from an academic perspective but not much help to those trying to reduce their blood glucose by diet. What is needed, at least for new recruits, are some basic rules about diet. When I was diagnosed, I was lucky enough to get the simple message that carbs in equals blood glucose, so I stopped eating sweet things and the high carb high GI stuff like bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. That’s all I did, no calculations of the amount of carbs, no calculation of macro ratios, no worrying whether I was ketogenic and, at least at first, no measurement of blood glucose. I reduced my HbA1c from 53 to 42 and lost 15% of my body weight in 3 months. If I had been confronted with the Food Insulin Index which seems, complex, impossible to measure and doesn’t appear on food packaging, I might have been too confused to do anything. [/QUOTE]
