Hi. I am prediabetic and about 5 weeks ago decided to go low carb [not keto] in order to try and improve my blood sugars and the results have been a bit mixed to be honest. At lunch I had a dinner I often have which is fairly high carb and my readings are much higher than normal [before going low carb] and it's got me wondering if going low carb [avoidance] can actually result in you becoming more intolerant to carbs.? This has happened twice now. Because the results were mixed I am now considering going keto but is this a cure or just avoidance and will the avoidance increase carb intolerance?
Also, a bit confused about wholegrain - my sugars after consuming wholegrain bread spike lower but remain elevated for longer. Which is better a higher spike and quicker recovery or a lower spike but a longer period of elevation? Thanks in anticipation of any advice.
