[QUOTE="AlexMagd, post: 1710289, member: 429623"] Thanks! I knew I'd seen this site somewhere (couldn't forget that snappy logo) but I couldn't find it yesterday. Will take a look at that :) I'm a little skeptical of the results too I have to say, though clearly it works very well for some people. I think really what it comes down to is how you define "works" - I know that Prof Taylor's criterion for success is an HbA1C at non-diabetic levels for a long period of time, but for those of us who (a) have already achieved that and (b) don't see the HbA1C as the be-all-and-end-all of tracking success in managing T2D that's cold comfort. For me, my concern with this: is that you could still be spiking uncontrollably after that. You can get a good average result but still be out of non-diabetic range for a good chunk of time. [USER=468642]@jcbman[/USER] , do you still test and if so, what kind of results do you get after eating something like that? End of the day, however, the ND seems like a win-win: even if I don't make any great strides in insulin sensitivity or further reversal I can reasonably expect to lose some more weight (and I have more to lose), further reduce my BG numbers, and improve my next test results. It might not be all it's sometimes alleged to be, but it can't hurt! [/QUOTE]
