tired guest..read the metabolic body (not blood) typing book. Take the test. Just try adding some red meat and other things they suggest. Look at your intake of fats and oils. There is a body type they mention, and I am one, that is called high purine protein...this type needs the heavier meats and fats...never let a transfat cross your lips. You might do very well with more fats, certainly more omega 3, perhaps more dairy fats. This is not medical advice. naturally keep testing your blood sugar and weight. Read up on Dr. Mary Enig's research. Very very good work. I read somewhere that the more damaged our insulin mechanism the fewer carbs we can process...makes sense of course.

There is a different way of looking at diabetes now..and that it is a storage capacity thing..if you are on your way to it, and figure if you are overweight you are, you have consumed too many of some kind of carbs for your personal metabolism at this time, and/or in the past. And that insulin is not a hormone so much to regulate blood sugar, but to store fat for the winter. mg
