I realise that some topics keep popping up as newbies like me join the forum. Has there been previous debate on the GG hacks, and were any of them found to be valid or recommended eg eating greens before proteins. I haven’t had potato chips since I found low carb and I’d be sad if it was unnecessary. I’ve been on low carb and Metformin for 4 months(1000). I’m registering a steady 7.5 every morning but haven’t been able to exercise due to my accident. 62 kg, trig 2.2. HbA1C 8%. 64.Hoping to resume daily gentle exercise after Christmas.

Exercise as and when you can - it's always a good idea - but don't fret if you can't. I can't exercise and find low-carbing quite adequate for keeping weight stable. I eat to appetite, or rather hunger, and don't count calories. I used to be very fat - my body can't handle carbs and sugars so stored them as fat - but this regimew fixed it, and I'm now well within acceptable weight range.

Some of them are fairly obvious - stress/cortisol stimulates additional glucose production by your liver, so it makes sense to be less stressed and anything that does that will help. I've never seen any effect from the food order thing at all.
In the main my take on it is that this is an attempt to find a way of eating carbs and avoid the BG consequences. My approach is to not eat the carb in the first place. Exercise played no part at all in my BG reduction - I do exercise these days - because I enjoy it, not for any impact on BG.
