I am a Type 2 Diabetic, that went DKA in December(NOT fun, I don't recommend). Now I am on 130 units (70units Levemir, 20 x 3 units of Humalog) of insulin/day to cover a measly 180grams (60/meal) of carbohydrates. Based on that how would you change your interpretation of a Peat Diet.
Would more fructose be even better as it can be processed primarily without the use of insulin? Important to decrease starch?
I would love to hear your ideas. I know Ray Peat doesn't like the use of insulin to treat diabetes, but has anyone ever seem him comment on how to deal with it if a client is already on copious amounts of it?
Given my circumstance what guidelines would provide the biggest bang for the buck?
What kind of things would you tinker with? I'm all for experimentation, so I can learn my body better.
I seem to be able to eat ~60grams of starch carbs and an additional 30g carbs of fruit on the same 20 units of Humalog that I would require just for the 60grams of starch.
