[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2085481, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=494805]@CrumblingWall[/USER], ifrom my personal experience with diabetes, not as medical advice or opinion: I am surprised that the endocrinilogist opining that your OGTT result was due to having a low carb diet would not have suggested a repeat test with following a usual 3 to 4 day higher carb intake lead up ( if you had not done that the first time? 14.2 mmol/l is high and in diabetic range going on usual acceotable ranges of BSL ( such as on Home Page , Living With Diabetes and far left column under that title. The particular conditions for undertaking an OGTT does limit its utility. Others have suggested you try out a continuous glucosecmonitoring device in associated with a glucosecmeter as a check on the spaccuracy of the monitoring device. A very sensible if expensive exercise. Unless you could hire such a monitoring device perhaps. The glucose monitoring devices can provide a great amount of data with which to better sort out what is happening to you. I personally find fault with the GI/GL diet studies - they are on non-diabetics and the value figures one is given for each food varies not only where we eat mixed meals wishing mixed up the overall prediction anyway, but the values are averages. You as an individual might find these average values apply well to you, but the next person can have a different resukt because they happen to react more in bsl rise or less because there is that range. Finally research has shown that an individual's responses to a single food at a time depends on the bugs in their gut, or gut biome as itvis calked. These bugs afect hiw sensitiveviur bidy is to insulin. These gut biomes seem to be the elephant in the room when it comes tobthe GI/GL paradigm. See [URL]https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/lifesciences/blood-sugar-levels-response-foods-are-highly-variable[/URL] Having said that many if us note that adding fat to a meal, or choosing full fat yoghurt over low fat yoghurt can reduce the peak in blood sugar level after eating. Of course on a low carb diet using fresh unproceesed food GI/GL can be pretty irrelevant. Why do low carb or even keto diet? There are recommendatios for type 2 diabetics for weight loss ( recent ADAguidelines), athletes in various sports like cricket, athletics etc, some diabetics on insulin injection use it. For variuos reasons dietitians are divided on its use and the food industry and pharamacupeutical industry see such diets as a threat. Lower breakfast cereal sales, diabetics improving their bsl cintrol and stopping medication. There has been a lot of false advertisinng and maligning of these diets and false science and flawed, manipulated statistics proferred to attack them. But we know that lapplanders, Inuit and other indigenous tribes lived healthily and well on a zero carb food diet. And looking at the Fat Emporer podcast E 25 the effect of thecWestern diet on indigenous people and others in the past 50 to 100 years has been mighty deleterious. This all would suggest you have made a wise choice in diet and it will take a while for health professions to fully come out from under the influence of the big three: Food, Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices. I wish all the best in yiur endevours and hope the answers from all the people on this site have helped. [/QUOTE]
