[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2111915, member: 510611"] Type 2 now. Pre diabetic diagnosis sent me to low GI. My diet was all "good carbs": beans, lentils, brown basmati rice, brown pasta. No cakes, biscuits, refined pre prepared stuff, sugar drinks, fruit juice, caramel macchiato (didn't do that before pre diabetes). I cook. Did me no good whatsoever. Made it worse I think. I'm still reading and learning and correcting my misconceptions (then getting some new ones and correcting those!) I see low GI as a finesse, something you investigate once you understand that as a Type 2 diabetic (or indeed metabolic syndrome person or pre diabetic) you have an "interesting" relationship with carbs that no-one quite understands yet. I went no carbs but veg over 4 weeks ago and frankly I'm scared of trying to reintroduce carbs because I felt so sick before. I think that right now I'm recovering from the damage all those healthy carbs did to me. How I react now to any carbs, low GI or otherwise, probably isn't going to be a good indicator of what happens in 6 months or a year or ever :). Clueless but learning........ [/QUOTE]
