In our quest to achieve remission
We have all had those moments when we think - ah one sweet, biscuit, - what harm can that possibly do.
It turns out that eating TINY amounts of the " wrong" foods can have big implications for blood glucose responses and by implication the insulin that you created to deal with it.
I have created a charts shows two days results from the Abbott from two people. Both of us eating a similar LCHF diet. We switched over at 6pm on the evening of the first day
The first day is when worn by a friend a non diabetic 28 year old woman BMI 27 (who's OGTT results are shown on the other graphic compared to me and bulkbiker ) as two lines - one after the full OGTT test, the second after following an LCHF diet all day and then eating ONE PIECE OF CANDIED GINGER weighting about 5 g at around 1.30 . the resulting metabolic effort to process that was BIGGER than the OGTT.
The second day is when worn by a diabetic 59 year old woman BMI 31 (me) on LCHF
I then applied that data to the OGTT tests that @bulbiker and I did which included the same person's OGTT.
Basically this shows that whatever the ingredients of only
FIVE GRAMS OF PEELED GINGER CANDY IT GAVE WORSE INSULIN RESPONSES THAN THE FULL OGTT TEST FOR A NON DIABETIC.
Lord knows what it would do to me !
so maybe think twice before that little grape between meals - no snacking appears to mean NO SNACKING !
