And there is a study which has shown that a low-carb diet, leading to gluconeogenesis, can result in higher plasma glucose levels. This may account for your higher glucose level.
And I know things are different for everybody. And I seem to say that everytime I post anything about carbs or diet. That is why I don't suggest anything - just an explanation for what I choose to do.
Why are so many so freakin' threatened by those of us that eat 200g or more of carbs daily? Geez. We don't say you can or even should do it - but let us share how we can and do!
You'd think that I didn't pay a bit of attention to the carbs that I consume. And you know what? I do!! I avoid white breads, juice, don't eat starchy veggies (just don't like them). But I still take in 30-45 (and maybe even 60g at times!) grams of carbs at meals!!! And I'm healthy. I feel like I am under fire here - may be done w/this forum all together. Ridiculous.
