[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 341477, member: 21149"] Hi Trking. Whilst it may or may not be important to have carbs I'm aware of no evidence whatsoever that you should have carbs 'with every meal'. Why would your fat cells become more sensitised because you miss carbs every other meal for example? I think this is just NHS non-evidence-based medicine which we can do without. Ref Metformin taking up to 3 months to have any effect (Lindainsomerset's NHS experience); why? I doubt any of the drug suppliers would agree with that; I'd love to know the evidence. My db GP said my Sitagliptin might take up to 6 months to work; it worked within 2 days. Why would a drug that suppresses an enzyme take 6 months to work? I think some of the HCPs just make it up as they go along. [/QUOTE]
