That is a good question. I had not thought about it until you asked. I did a search for OGTT glucose dose and the results show you can buy prepared doses. It's more expensive but it's convenient.is there a way to measure liquid glucose to reach equivalence of 70g preferably without a scale @yerrag
thank you!
Hi rinse. Since honeycomb is so expensive...what kind of honey can I buy thats pure fructose for my moms diabetes? ThansBoy you started a very much needed and exciting thread Vileplume :)
I like this Really Raw Honey and I also buy this Wee Bee Honey.Hi rinse. Since honeycomb is so expensive...what kind of honey can I buy thats pure fructose for my moms diabetes? Thans
There's no honey that is pure fructose. Pure fructose doesn't exist in the wild. I've searched before and the only pure fructose I can find is made from corn, and it's likely that corn is GMO. If you've read Ray Peat's article on the use of fructose as diabetes therapy referenced to the 50s, from his website, I'm with you on wanting to try that therapy for your mom. But it has risks. For one, people don't take to pure fructose well. Fructose feeds microorganisms in the gut very well, and I don't know if you can manage to get all that fructose absorbed by the small intestine that not much is left to feed the critters in the large intestine.Hi rinse.

Yeah that is a good thing to mention in this post Peater! I wrote a bit about it in my own post on brewers yeast.Has anyone mentioned Ray's experience with brewer's yeast for his father's diabetes yet?
So do you think Raw honey is ok since it’s not pure fructose? Also...my mom eats daily raw carrot salad, mushrooms, and cascara...so I think her intestine is good imo (and hers) thanksThere's no honey that is pure fructose.

I think it will do. It has half fructose anyway. If you want something with higher fructose, pear and agave sugar content can go as high as 70%.So do you think Raw honey is ok since it’s not pure fructose?

But Ray has told me that agave syrup is very high processed, even from parts of the plant that shouldn't be, that it contains some proteins that can be allergenic.I think it will do.

It wouldn't have mattered. It drove me mad looking for pure fructose and I was wondering why a product does not exist that would fix diabetes.I guess I didn't address the pure fructose part.
Have you tried brewer's yeast?It wouldn't have mattered. It drove me mad looking for pure fructose and I was wondering why a product does not exist that would fix diabetes.
No, but I would have if I still had hypoglycemia then. Still, I researched it and failed to find something about brewers to that effect.Have you tried brewer's yeast?
Here is the link to my thread on brewer's yeast and diabetes. There are several Ray Peat quotes and a audio with him through the thread about brewer's yeast. There is also talk about "nutritional yeast" too, but that has glutamate and is NOT good for diabetes.No, but I would have if I still had hypoglycemia then.

Brewer's Yeast A Cure For Diabetes And More..
Ray Peat has told of the miracle of brewer's yeast, which includes curing his father of diabetes, and boldly states he thinks it can be a good thing used "for a short time". My dad gave it to my brother and I, daily for years, and we escaped the childhood diseases and viruses going around during...raypeatforum.com
Just lookin' out for ya :)That's great. Thank you!
I searched some products on the web, and found that a lot of the yeasts were fortified with b vitamins. But I didn't look further into it. Glad you did the research thoroughly and tried it.
Just lookin' out for ya :)
