[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2559024, member: 493719"] As I understand it. Type 1 produces little or no insulin, hence the need to inject. Type 2 produces too much insulin But as we become immune (resistant to it) it takes more and more to push the glucose we ingest in and around our bodies. The goal, as I understand it is to find a measure of what we CAN eat..(monitoring & eating to the meter) Thus reducing the need for so much insulin & theoretically reducing our insulin resistance. Presumably our bodies will change over time and that includes what we can actually eat without spiking, so it's good to keep an eye on things we think safe, at certain points in time, just to be sure. I wonder if for you [USER=282121]@Granny_grump_[/USER] oats have now crept into your spiking foods list, if you didn't spike before. And for you [USER=25851]@Annb[/USER] (& me ) Porridge / oats is already a spike specific food, so a good one for us to avoid. Lots of references on line. But I found Dr Fung book on T2D to be very informative about the mechanism of just what carbs do to us & the roll insulin plays in that. [/QUOTE]
