Are you aware that your brain only gets its energy from glucose? Thanks for the link.
I despise testing and found I can actually tell if I'm elevated (by testing after my nueropathy tells me I'm high glucose) and found the "natural" warning to be patent!
“Are you aware that your brain only gets its energy from glucose?”
Yes. but the body has the ability to generate all the glucose you need from protein.
Even the most restrictive of the low carb diets does not exclude carbs completely. And even if one did eat no carbs at all, the body can make what it needs for the brain from protein.
I am not recommending a no-carb diet. I think each individual who has a tendency toward diabetes has a level of carbs that will keep their blood sugar in line. The problem is, I think that level is quite low compared to the standard diet. I know it stinks. I love carb foods! In fact, I think carb craving is part of the diabetic profile.
In the 1920s, two men submitted themselves to a meat only diet for a year. As reported in JAMA on July 6, 1929, finished the year slimmer and with lower cholesterol. ~ from the book Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution (I didn’t type it word for word - just summarized).
