Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 1503591" data-attributes="member: 150927">This may be a food environment-country difference thing, or my understanding of T2D is just way off (I don't really think it is way off) but unless one has medically induced T2 diabetes, or T2D caused by something in particular not the food environment/diet, or a food allergy such as gluten? (if that is the right way of expressing it) then if one has (or have had) T2D one has some degree of carbohydrate intolerance. Or, at the very least - a big first response to blood glucose with a lot of insulin (which is really saying the same thing, as it is a lovely duo, at least in my understanding.) (We all appreciate the duo here? as our glucose-insulin partnership has overstepped the mark into dysfunction.) I do not see how you can have the common garden variety of blood glucose dysfunction (ie prediabetes to T2D) and NOT have carbohydrate intolerance, if your T2D was caused by your very own personal level of 'too high' blood glucose (and insulin). I also see carbohydrate tolerance as akin to a body type. That ol' tendency to central obesity or fat on the organs if one is a TOFI. Or one is just one of the lucky 20% of people who can store a lot of fat and not get really sick (CVDs, strokes, T2D, some types of cancers). Your forebears and you, in other words, just are a lot healthier from environment-induced diseases and dysfunctions as slender, or at least - without too much body-fat on your organs.Body types, and how you store excess carbs and energy, do not, does not change. When reversing or treating or whatever you want to call it - aren't you finding out your personal carb tolerance level and not overstepping it again? Due to a supreme consciousness? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> (Please note 'supreme consciousness' is meant as a jokey way, hence smiley, to talk about what basically defines my eating life! ie carb consciousness. Is NOT meant as a spiritual statement.) </blockquote>
