Controlling spikes is what does help with your health. It is not a cure.Most of those predisposed to T2 or prediabetes will have an imbalance in their glucose/insulin response after food. Insulin response and insulin resistance  will dictate the spike.Saturated fat does flatten the curve after eating, which also makes you feel fuller, satiated.Most T2s have too much insulin in their blood (hyperinsulinimia) and too much insulin is not good. And most of it is ineffective. Your pancreas is overworked when glucose is too high (hyperglycaemia).Then if you look to discover what low fat is, and what has replaced the fat is more sugars (for taste) and of course it is processed and full of ingredients that I tend to stay away from.I would also stay away from polyunsaturated fats.You also have to remember, that a carb will spike you regardless of glycaemic index, and wether mixed in with saturated fats or protein, carbs will still spike you.Only continuous, low carb and controlling BG levels in and around normal levels, will help with your health care, and put you into remission. And I repeat there is no cure, no magic pill to cure the imbalance. Only control.There are a number of books and papers, doctors, endocrinologists and even nutritionists that will tell you that the high carb, low fat theory, doesn't work.Low carb and using animal fats help me so much to control my BG levels.</blockquote>
