[QUOTE="Elliebb9, post: 1999095, member: 500534"] I’m in a similar situation to you Donna.... had a HbA1c reading of 49. Still got to see doctor for diagnosis. I watched that programme and have been reading up about ‘resistant starch’. Apparently, having a high intake can really help with type 2 and can improve insulin resistance. I think that these starches get consumed by helpful gut-bacteria, in the large intestine, not absorbed as glucose. So you should not think of them as the sort of carbs that get broken down into sugars, and absorbed into your bloodstream. From what I have read, they can only do you good.... and even if some of these foods are digested in the small intestine, the pros far outweigh the cons. I’m going to try and eat a high RS diet...
