At the same token you will lose weight if you eat 1500 calories of pure carbs and no fat/protein every day.

This is obviously not healthy as everyone needs all three marcronutrients. I'm not trying to pick on anyone, and I realize type 2's need to watch their carbs for good glucose control, but it kill me that everyone is so carbophobic.
Well guess what? if type 2's don't watch the carbs we eat it will kill us we don't have the luxury of shooting up whenever we eat to much. Now back to the Topic

In the five years I have had this disease I have never tested 2 hours after first bite I am lucky if I can test 2 hours after finishing my meal. I test between 2 and 3 hours after meals I have twin three year olds going on four.
