[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2286970, member: 401801"] Good news: It's not a tripple whammey. It's just a single one: Metabolic Syndrome. Under that umbrella are diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. And the solution to the whole thing? Low carb eating. I had everything except for high blood pressure (that was normal, it is now low sometimes if I forget to add salt to my meal), and the change in diet fixed it all. I have to say though, buying a lot of stuff right when you're on the cusp of a diet change? You want to eat it rather than throw it out, and I get that, but none of it is good for you. You wouldn't give a peanut bar to someone with a peanut allergy, right? Because that's practically what this is. Everything over 8,5 does do damage, and yeah, your blood sugars seemed alright after that 15 mile bike ride, but that was [I]because[/I] of the 15 mile bike ride... They should've been that good without the burning-off. ;) All in all, I think you might've already hit the Nutritional Thingy, [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] <-- but just in case... There it is again, and yeah... It's entirely do-able to do this without medication. Just diet. But don't decide to basically poison yourself and do damage because a tub's still full or you went for wholemeal. A spike is a spike, white brown or wholemeal. Stay away from it and you will have this thing under control (the WHOLE metabolic thing, not just the T2) before you know it. Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
