Subject: Down 70 pounds

Hi all;

I am just checking in.  I have been for the most part hard-core Paleo since
August after prior on and off trial. Since August I have lost 70 pounds, and
that is without exercise. However, my type 2 diabetes is still with me.
My doctor wants to run tests to see if my type 2 diabetes has turned into
type 1 due to pancreatic failure.  I did not know that this could happen!!!!
I am still on insulin and oral meds. I still have quite a lot of weight to
loose.  Maybe another 50 will show some improvement with diabetes. I need to
research this because i don't eat more than 20 grams carbs per day, and
those are from non starch veggies, and minimal in-season berries.  I have
read that too much protein can be just as bad as eating carbs, and I can't
seem to get the proper fat ratio correct for me.  But I am not giving up!

Trish

I don't know if this will apply to you.....

Diabetes runs heavily in my family. All may aunts and uncles etc have it.
On paleo my morning blood sugar was 95-105 (borderline). When I went low
carb paleo it was about the same

I tried the "paleo-hack" potato diet. All I ate for 2 weeks was white
potatoes 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil(for flavoring mainly) and salt,
pepper etc.
After about 4 days my morning blood sugar was in the low 70s! That is with
almost 100% of calories from carbs. Afterward I upped my carb intact( in the
form of white potatoes, taro root and real yams) and my morning blood sugar
is in the 75-85 range.
You might want investigate how fructose effects you body and increase
glucose(in the form of starches) and fat consumption and reduce protein. 
I really don't want to start another debate if potatoes are
"paleo"...................
