So it's no longer tit for tat, but tat before tit?

Too many doctors STILL parrot the ADA guidelines, which PUSH enormous amounts of carbohydrates,
(OK for most T1's, but horrible for T2's, especially with insulin resistance)
forcing the patient to use far more drugs and insulin than is healthy.
Small wonder--when I attended "diabetes class", all the printed handouts were compliments of BIG PHARMA.
I wonder how many doctors enjoy free "conferences" in tourist destinations.
Kickbacks are frowned upon, but "educational" junkets are so hard to monitor.
I dread having to go to a hospital, as there is apparently no way to avoid carbohydrate overload--
except by liberal use of outside food. --and feeding most of the carbs to my visitors.

"Just recently I have run into a couple worrying medical issues (higher blood suger, higher blood pressure) and my Dr. was of little help. I've been trying to reduce carbs, do some intermittent fasting etc. which seemed to even make it worse.

Some research on the internet re: high fasting blood sugar led me into numerous articles on how the body dumps glucose into your system (morning syndrome), Cortisol, stress hormones from hunger etc. Many people that try intermittent fast run into the same issue with more severity. This causes troubled sleep etc. and could cause increased AHI.

Once I started including a snack (some yogurt and slow release carb - oat bran) before bed, my normal sleep patterns returned, blood sugar dropped to normal levels after 8 hour sleep, and my AHI numbers got better and I certainly just "feel" better overall. Hope this might help some...."

GrantT please include the sources of your research, if you can. I am very curious about this I need to lower an A1C that has risen to 5.8, (fasting is still 94.) Every time that I go on a low carb diet, I loose weight fast but my AHI becomes a lot worse. It will go from a 1 to 2.5-5.0. My lowest scores seem to be when I eat before bed. Also, carbs of lower than 50-60 grams a day starts to depress my thyroid function. I think you need insulin to convert t4 to t3. Maybe the problem is too low of t3 that is driving the AHI up to high. Please direct me to some sources with respect the glucose dumping and the cortisol, etc.. Everyone is pushing the intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet. I am wondering if some of us need more of a low-moderate carb diet.

I think Grant has long ago left the forum (posting dates are just above notes).
