I know Knotted Yet pretty well from the forums, and am sure she was just trying to get us all to slow down, and stop practicing medicine over the internet. She is right. While all our posts were well meaning, without knowing how the OPs body responds to carbs, we could be setting her up for disaster.

Yes, I worked out my stuff via lots of experiments, but I also received guidance and support from my endo in doing it.

And knotted yet is right, Diabetes is the 'silent killer' and knowledge is power. I watched my dad die an early death from the complications of type I diabetes, and that now motivates me to live what even my endo considers an impossibly healthy lifestyle. My A1Cs are lower than his normal patients, since I am willing to use diet and exercise to control this, something most patients are not.
