[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2391864, member: 532959"] It is great. I'm expecting that number to keep increasing, os if you have any interest perhaps keep an eye on those site. I'm sure I'm not the only one who isn't surprised that avoiding sugar will lead to less circulating sugar in the blood. That isn't the point in contention. The issue I'm battling against is that the demonisation of carbs, is based on a much shoddier foundation than the total demonisation of fat and animal products by the vegan/plant-based movement. My own position on these issues is clearly outside of the purview of this thread, and I won't take it off-topic. Suffice to say that your quoted numbers are nothing I'd find to be unexpected. Also (I've said this before, but it bears repeating), my own threshold/tolerance for the acceptance of new thought is 1 i.e I only need see one example of someone getting results contrary to my previously-held beliefs for me to either start to re-examine said beliefs or turn them on their head, wholesale...in one fell swoop. Think of how until Roger Bannister cracked the 4-minute mile, it was deemed impossible. Once he'd done it, not only could nobody hold onto the idea of impossibility, it led to many more people being able to repeat For clarities sake, I'm type II...I think. As for type I diabetics being able to choose what they eat? Again, you seem to be missing the point: If we are to believe that carbs in any form are bad for us and will (according to many) eventually lead almost everyone to either insulin resistance and eventual diabetes, then why are we seeing people doubling and tripling (Some at nearly 500g of carbs a day) improving their insulin sensitivity? You could argue it away as just anomaly, or just maybe we should start to consider that perhaps what we think we know is actually not what is happening. Bottom line, there are an ever-increasing number of cases of those that are increasing their insulin sensitivity by increasing carbs. I'd like to think that we would welcome Hannah, congratulate her and just be happy that she is finding her way to health improvements :) post edited by moderator to remove off topic content. [/QUOTE]
