[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2118531, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=410413]@millenium[/USER], I tend to agree with [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] here. I think that some of us simply aren't made (genetically) for such a high amount of carbs. (I think I read somewhere (can't remember the site unfortunately, wished I had bookmarked it) that the split is about 50/50 -- Fifty percent can metabolize carbs without problems and the other fifty percent have problems with this). Does this make us diabetic per se? Or does it just mean that our metabolism isn't suited for the modern carb-rich diet? Just to play devil's advocate: Hypothetically -- if we had always eaten lower carb and had never had higher blood sugar levels, would we have been diagnosed diabetic? Would we tell someone eating this way for life without ever having had high blood sugar levels, that the only reason, they aren't diabetic, is because they don't consume lots of carbs?
