The most important lesson … just looking at fasting numbers is NOT enough.
Very Low Fat Diabetes Experiment: Phase 1

eXcellent eXercise eXperiments
Brad, knowing how much I hate to lose, in an attempt to console me adds,
“I guess your age is catching up to you finally.”

THINK ABOUT THAT!
Potato, Potato Starch and Diabetes
I have tested high fat, high carb foods in the past and as noted, my blood sugar would continue to rise for 2+ hours. That did not happen this time, so that is yet another HUGE PLUS!
I have definitely seen enough here today to continue experimenting with resistant starch.
