I am glad to hear that you can eat a lot of carbs without your blood sugar increasing in a way that is deemed to be unhealthy for us. Seriously, that is good...but the reason many (if not most) of us (particularly Type 2s) are "against carbs" is that carbs effectively turn to sugar in the blood system and increase levels and often cause major spikes which take time to come down. If this goes unchecked it will take its toll and cause the kinds of complications we all fear. It is ONLY by cutting the carbs from my diet right down that I can have any control of my blood sugar levels. For me, weight is not and never has been an issue; it's all about keeping my levels down. I hope you keep getting away with it but lots of us don't.</p></blockquote><p></p>
