Posted Thursday, December 2, 2010 at 4:19 PM "limit starch" - limit high glycemic carbs and fats if you're heading toward insulin resistance. But then again the whole kickstart is exactly targeted to that anyhow (since diabetes is one of the target areas healthwise). It's a matter of taking all these good "allowable" foods and adjusting the portion size and maybe removing a few items (for instance, potatoes are my nemesis though I love them dearly). --Deb R

However, I'm already eating a diet of only whole grains, unprocessed carbohydrates, low-glycemic foods, unsaturated fats and limited amounts of fruit – and still showing symptoms. I assure you that my nutrition and health are being well-addressed by my medical team, thank you. Molly Horn

Posted Thursday, December 2, 2010 at 4:27 PM Molly - I wasn't saying you didn't know that information but there are lots more folks reading this than you and me. apologies Not to mention that genetics plays a part, as does the ability to exercise (if I exercise regularly the way I know I need to, my glucose levels stay pretty decent, but if I waver, it drifts pretty quickly). Sometimes, no matter what we do, or don't do, stuff happens because 250 yrs ago something in our familial DNA drifted a little one way or the other. -Deb R type 2 diabetes dx 5 yrs ago

But also a good reason to not commandeer Madcat's thread about testosterone (again, in my case). Many reasons for insulin resistance, many reasons for diabetes. In my case, the IR is probably related to portion size, to exercise, to several years of uncontrolled hypoglycemia, to autoimmune disorders... to many reasons. I wish it were so simple as "eat this, don't eat that." I'd be a happy girl. Molly Horn
