[QUOTE="jjne, post: 2414571, member: 544975"] Thanks once again for the comments. I have to say that as a layman, but a layman with a scientific background, the comments about all foods converting to sugar didn't sit well with me, but I'm not the expert :) I mean they're fundamentally different molecules, and I think it takes more energy to convert fats to carbs than you'd get out of them anyway. I am trying a (near as damnit) complete "keto" diet for a week to see what it does to my blood sugar levels. I'm not going to continually test myself because (1) if no sugar is going in I don't see the point, it's not going to spike right? and (2) I've run out of the strips and won't be getting more for a few days! I'm going to get some fish, meat, berries etc for the next week. I go on 3xMetformin as well as of today so perhaps that will also contribute. [/QUOTE]
