[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2190231, member: 511345"] Hi Lottie, Having a science degree means I do understand the desire for some scientific studies. However, as human beings have so many variables I have just tried experimenting on myself. I test regularly though not as often as when I first started. When I eat no carb meals often my blood sugar levels go down in the 2 hours after- they might remain the same but never go up if the meal has no carbs. If I have low carb meals the levels may in crease a small amount but never very much. If I eat something with more carbs it goes up. If my initial reading is in the 4s I am sometimes comfortable having a few more carbs than normal but my normal is less than 7 or 8 grams a meal. So for me I am. convinced that low carb works for me. I have also lost my asthma which is another welcome side effect. I've had it for a long time and now nothing no symptoms at all. This is at a time of very bad air pollution from all the fires in Australia. I've also lost weight again another good side effect. I am hopeful after I lose more weight that my insulin resistance will be less and I will be able to eat more c arbs- what that will mean I haven't even started to articulate to myself- maybe it doesn't mean anything as the levels may ver be at a range to allow me to eat more 'normally'. I don't know. Everyone is different so there may not be any studies addressing your specific concerns. If there are I'm sure someone on here will know about them. Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
