[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2692582, member: 150927"] Hi there [USER=47277]@BarbaraG[/USER]. My own approach is to take on board the best of both these magnificent On-Diabetes-dudes. I really like the Personal Fat Threshold theory, certainly in terms of getting insulin resistance in the first place, which fits neatly with the Fat Cells Theory (or, Adipose theory) behind T2D. And Prof Taylor's graphics describing the blood glucose fatty acid cylce (in terms of being a couple of bicycles!) is quite wonderful. Dr Fung too has great metaphors for describing what has gone wrong with our blood glucose system, and I am totally on board with his inflated balloons (with glucose, and insulin) to explain what happens at cell level with insulin-resistance based T2D. Both of them are remission focussed, as are many of the great docs and profs writing on the subject. As I went all out for remission via both of those On-Diabetes-Dudes, and got incomplete remission (ie in the prediabetic range) for some years, but popped out of it in some other amount of years, I have come to appreciate the incredible complexity of our blood glucose regulation system, and, all the things that can go seriously wrong in it at various junctures and in various organs and organ-like mechanisms. Some folks do, BarbaraG, go into complete remission and can even start to eat a lot more carbs than some poor hapless T2er like myself. But my understanding is it is very rare. I have seen it in this forum, but only with a couple of T2ers. And they have either died, or disappeared from the Forum now so who knows if it was for the rest of their personal duration?. For myself, I see myself as having time test proven I am excess-carb intolerant. Definely wheat intolerant. Being excess-carb intolerant may be where you are at? More than likely, if it is OK for me to say that? If you are not one of the rare cases. Only one way to tell! And that is to experiment with these methods to remission. And how wonderful to have all of us to share these experiments with methods with! [/QUOTE]
