I've been struggling with Type 2 diabetes for years. Every doctor I've been to has told me to lose weight! Next time I see my endo, I will bring this article along with me.
Thank you for your contributions to this world. I'm a Nurse Practitioner in Endo and work with clients with Diabetes Mellitus daily. I love your work and use it to supplement the conversations I have with clients frequently. You are a gift.
For some reason, I can eat potatoes till the cows come home and they don't have any serious impact on my blood sugar. Bread isn't that bad either. I measure out insulin corresponding to the amount of carbs in potatoes, pasta, or bread and all is fine and dandy. Rice, on the other hand, spikes my blood sugar. I have to use twice as much insulin than would seem necessary for the amount of carbs.
Thank you for this, Ragen!

Yes. I am fine with potatoes and pasta, but sugary foods kill me. My body reacts so strongly in a way it doesn't to starch.
