[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2391857, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=532959]@Beating-My-Betes[/USER], For some people, high carb low fat (HCLF) may well work. My guess would be that it is those who are naturally insulin-sensitive, which would include many T1s. My husband, for example is slim and non-diabetic, eats lots of sugar and other carbs and has no problems. However, by and large, most T2s seem to have a genetic make-up that doesn't deal well with carbs (though there maybe exceptions) and for us low-carb seems a good way of avoiding complications. If high carb works for you and your blood sugar levels, the more power to you. As for spikes (and this is not just an opionion in the low carb community) -- there seems to be some evidence that any spike over 140 mg/dl (or 7.8 mmol) is damaging to our bodies. Jenny Ruhl has compiled some scientific studies on her website that seem to support this. Here is a link -- in case you are interested [URL]https://www.bloodsugar101.com/organ-damage-and-blood-sugar-level[/URL] [USER=541760]@Hannah Robyn[/USER] -- Congrats on your brilliant results.
