[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1345334, member: 327005"] Interestingly on my diet so far, the sharpest spike I have had was from a reading of 5 to 11 when I had two slices of toast and baked beans with an English breakfast. That spike also reversed itself sharply within 90 minutes back to 5 so I already know my body does react properly to such spikes, though maybe the spike is more severe than it would be in a non diabetic . From what I have seen of my blood sugar behaviour now I have the 24 hour monitor the issue seems to be that until we start testing none of us know what our blood sugars are doing. When our metabolism finally decides it cannot deal with the level of throughput anymore, then we get a relentless but small daily rise in our blood sugar which then makes the actual food spikes ever greater until finally that manifests in symptoms, for me, the actual change in daily rise day on day, or even meal on meal is probably little different over time its just that every single day it is starting from a higher base . Based on that, it seems to me that there is no reason why whatever means we all use to get back to the proper levels of glucose, once we are there, our bodies ability to deal with the ensuing spikes from what we then decide to eat, is probably little different regardless for each of us based on our own health regardless of which actual method we used to get to that point whether that be low carb, low fat or fasting. The issue is that whatever our eating habits that caused us to lose control in the first place need to be changed forever if we are not going to go back to losing control gradually all over again, so in changing our eating habits to bring down Hba1C and also weight ( the hba1C can come first in my own experience) we might as well choose the diet that most closely resembles something we can live with long term - which for me is LCHF but everyone can choose for themselves. The most vital point is to find the diet that enables blood glucose to gradually go down on average each day. [/QUOTE]
