Do you seriously believe this is what anyone is here is trying to do?so as to prevent me from succeeding at my weight loss diet
Or you could stop dieting, follow low carb and lose weight that way instead?This week's average FBG is 5.0. It went down a bit at the beginning of my diet but has now stopped decreasing. My last OGT 10 days ago, was 11.2, so just into the diabetic range. So I have no choice but to continue dieting in the hope of getting down to my PFT.
You do have a choice. You can give low carbing a try, and see what happens.So I have no choice but to continue dieting in the hope of getting down to my PFT.
And maybe just maybe after a few months of low carb you’d then be able to pass your self OGTT (having carb loaded a couple of days prior to avoid physiological IR).You do have a choice. You can give low carbing a try, and see what happens.
Low cal is not the same as low carb. The two are "methods" of doing two totally different things. Low cal can reverse T2 whereas low carb can only lower blood sugar, (which can also be done with drugs like metformin). I am looking to REVERSE my T2. Just temporarily lowering blood sugar is not my goal. And the OGT measures beta cell function because it measures the body's SPEED of response to glucose, rather than just the total amount of glucose you have put into your blood by swallowing it (or not swallowing it, as in the case of low carb)And maybe just maybe after a few months of low carb you’d then be able to pass your self OGTT (having carb loaded a couple of days prior to avoid physiological IR).
You’ve tried one way that doesn’t seem to work for you (and professor Taylor never claimed it worked for everyone). I cannot understand why you won’t try another just as well evidence method.

Can we have a link to the scientific studies stating and proving this please?Low cal can reverse T2 whereas low carb can only lower blood sugar
Oh for goodness sake you are missing the point.Low cal is not the same as low carb. The two are "methods" of doing two totally different things. Low cal can reverse T2 whereas low carb can only lower blood sugar, (which can also be done with drugs like metformin). I am looking to REVERSE my T2.

You don't think your extraordinarily massive weight loss (8 stone) might be the reason you have low BG? Anyone losing anywhere near that much weight pretty well MUST have lost the excess weight from their pancreas?Sorry but however much you wish this to be true it is not.
If it were true then my own OGTT results would not be possible.
You are simply wrong and I really don't want you to mislead others.
I have lost 60 pounds and I know from testing before and after I eat with a BG meter that grains legumes and root vegetables still spike my BG.You don't think your extraordinarily massive weight loss (8 stone) might be the reason you have low BG? Anyone losing anywhere near that much weight pretty well MUST have lost the excess weight from their pancreas?
And without risking malnutrition due to not eating enough healthy food to nourish you.Also I lost all that weight with out going hungry restricting calories.
And the mental toll that comes with extreme calorie restriction.And without risking malnutrition due to not eating enough healthy food to nourish you.
