NOTE: In light of what Dr. Mary C. Vernon shared in yesterday's blog post about "normal" blood sugar levels, my readings are right in line with that 80-100 goal. There was only a 15-point difference all day in the fasting and two-hour readings. It's a little higher overall than earlier in the week, but the span from high to low remains constant. I'm not complaining. :)

Jimmy, I looked back at yesterday's post and was a little surprised. When Dr. Mary Vernon said, "if carbs were kept low, then the fasting and after meal blood sugars got closer together," you gave this article as a reference.
The title of the article is, "A Reduced Carbohydrate, Increased Protein Diet Stabilizes Glycemic Control and Minimizes Adipose Tissue Glucose Disposal in Rats."
So the article is talking about rats, not people. And if you look at the "Reduced Carbohydrate, Increased Protein" group, they were eating 42% carbohydrates and 30% protein.
I wonder if Dr. Vernon might have any references on the topic that were done on humans and maybe with a lower carb level?
I can ask.
