[QUOTE="Jam&Scones, post: 2192299, member: 514191"] Great work! You must be very pleased! I agree with you about sugar and low fat dietary guidelines combo - it has (and will more so in the future I have no doubt) created an epidemic of issues. The more I learn, the more I am convinced processed foods are the enemy. I think that Type 2 can only be in remission (never cured)? But I do think you can handle carbs better when you do have them on the rare occasion (christmas was an interesting test for me on that level, I never overdid it, but my levels more often than not eventually came back to a 5.mmol, when I first started my diet they would never get close to that). I find though that anything processed will always send my levels sky high and that isn't just sugary things, one particular experience was with a small packet of mcdonalds fries (bad choice, I know, but a powerful lesson!). I have watched a lot of videos which also claim that high levels of insulin for a long time are also bad idea (even if your blood sugar is normal) as they can seriously mess up certain body processes (i.e. high levels create resistance, block other hormones which tell you not to eat any more, etc). There is so much info out there, conflicting and new things coming to light that I think it is almost impossible to give a one-size-fits-all set of guidelines. Ultimately, only you can try things and see if they help you feel better or not. [/QUOTE]
