Group Modera I've deleted the comments, but wanted to address something. Patricia just perfectly addressed the issue of eating off-plan foods even if they don't currently cause spikes (our primary goal is glucose management, but a close second is to prevent the progression of insulin resistance).That leads me to my point: we're not all different. Sorry but that's a myth. We are all at different stages of the progression of diabetes, but diabetes works the same for everyone with type 2.
More carbs requires more insulin, so if you're eating high carb foods like apples or potatoes, you're forcing your body to use more insulin. This will makes you more and more insulin resistant every time you do it.
No one really disputes this, they just think it's inevitable.
You can have normal numbers. And you can significantly slow or even stop the progression of your insulin resistance. You can't do either of those things eating apples, potatoes, bananas, or any of the other foods that cause insulin and glucose spikes. A. Wells
