I’m the only one in my family that hasn’t gotten diabetes 2, and I think it’s because I eat mostly meat and vegetables, as if I eat too many carbs it messes up my colon.
You cannot drive an insulin response on those foods.
I am one of the younger members of my family, so I see the 10-12 year view of the future. Based on that I quit carbs and sugar except for special occasions and drinking entirely. Didn’t like what I was seeing. Feel much better for it as I lost the weight I began picking up the last 20 yrs.
