Zealot Posted May 23, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2022 My wife does most of the food preparation. But if she diets a certain way and I’m not into it, she either makes me something different, or I make myself something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may even have the opposite effect. She needs to come to the forum for some better methods she might employ to kill you. I am sure we can help her immensely. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studies show that fat doesn’t raise insulin levels and the low fat craze actually made people fatter by adding carbs & removing fat from products. I worry less about fat and focus more on carb control but mine is for different reasons than most of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also love carrots, and now those are on the "bad" list And chickpeas???? I love chickpeas, but they're high in carbs, so not making the cut! Lentils too!

My dietician never put those on the limit list. It’s mostly starchy veggies like potato, peas & corn that you should limit if you are low carb. I actually don’t limit any veg except potato as chickpea, carrots & lentles don’t spike my glucose. If you limit bread & other added sugars and have a stir fry with carrots you should be fine. I like a this Greek place and get their chicken & dip it in hummus and lay off the pita bread and my glucose is fine after. FYI I eat a lot of Saifun noodles as they are made with mung bean and don’t spike glucose. They are also GF so my daughter can eat them. They are often referred to as glass noodles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increased body mass results in increased blood levels and with even a normal working pancreas, the insulin levels in the blood stream are reduced. Body mass issues can also create circulation issues that exacerbates the already reduced insulin levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to wrap my head around this statement but I think it’s consistent with common diabetic management methodology. Diabetics are basically insulin resistant in that we aren’t making enough insulin to process the carbs we are ingesting. This also leads to weight gain as the excess blood glucose we don’t burn & is processed by the insulin & converted to fat. So weight gain ads blood volume & so also lessens the effect of insulin which is already struggling to manage the glucose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted May 23, 2022 Share #34 Posted May 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Kzoo said: insulin levels in the blood stream are reduced. It’s actually the opposite. In type II Diabetes, aka adult onset, it’s insulin resistance at the cellular level that makes for abnormally high blood glucose levels. So even when you have “normal” or high insulin levels, the blood sugars stay high. So the body then releases even more insulin, which then results in additional fat storage, which then worsens the cycle, as being more obese worsens insulin resistance. Type I diabetes means your pancreas isn’t making enough insulin. These patients aren’t resistant to the benefits of insulin, they just need to replace what would be naturally occurring. They use far less insulin than the type 2 patients who get administer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
