[QUOTE="jjne, post: 2414210, member: 544975"] I can see both sides to this to be honest. I was trying to balance the carb thing but, on the face of it that isn't really working for me, or doesn't seem to be. I dunno, the NHS in their literature seems to emphasise the need for some carbs, and my practitioning nurse who gave me "the talk" stated that all foods are converted to sugar not just carbs. The issue for me of course is trying to work through conflicting information. Very few carbs in 24 hours and blood glucose down more than two points. I am going to give this a week or two at least, and see if it comes down and stays down. I can certainly see the logic of not taking in carbs, forcing the body to dig into its reserves etc. And of course if there's nothing going in then nothing comes out, simple chemistry. Ultimately though I need *some* sources of sugar though, right? It is confusing but the pressing need that I can see just now is getting the numbers down. I can cross other bridges that might result from this course of action when I come to them. Clearly people are thriving long-term with this diet so it must be doing something right. [/QUOTE]
