Thanks for the heads up about that study. There have been many more throughout the past couple decades. Sometimes a bit unreported in the media.

A recent study just released may be of interest The New England Journal of Medicine Volume 359:229-241 July 17, 2008 Number 3 Weight Loss with a Low-Carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or Low-Fat Diet

15 grams...3 servings per meal....3 meals per day (15x3x3=135). 135 grams a day can be way too much for a diabetic. Cut back to 60 a day for a while and see what happens. Keep in mind you must also eat lots of healthy fat and proteins to make up the calories.

For the comment down there, normal blood sugar range is between 70-95, or 100-120.

Hmmm....I'm happy you have found a solution for yourself, but it may not apply to all. Fat cannot raise blood sugar. Carbs do...any type of carb, because they all break down into sugar as you mentioned. So, your premise is flawed and you are advising the exact opposite of what I have found to be true in 15 years of practice.

Diabetes is definately not a, "1 sizes fits all". A DVD I got with a glucose meter, told of a counting carb methode which I tried. 15 g servings and 2-3 servings per meal. I thought that was great, but it didn't work for me. If I have 1 serving for breakfast it's as if I have an IV with a liter of glucose punped into my viens! The only countable fat intake is from fish oil softgels (up to 3 a day- which works out to be < 3% according to the Supplement facts on the bottle.)

70 - 100, 70 - 85 when fasting.

I was insuline resistance, and by reducing my fat intake to 10% of calories per day, I lost all the excesive weight, and cured myself from the pre-diabetes. Right now I eat a lot of carbohydrates, mostly sugars, like apple, pineapple, bananas, but as soon as they come to the bloodstream, they are absorbed by the cells... The problem is the fat, that is the one that causes the insuline resistance.
