I also take into account the glycemic index of the different foods I eat but not to the extreme. FOllowing this plan lowered my blood glucose so that in the beginning I was borderline Diabetic II and now I am on the low end of normal in my blood glucose readings. Good luck to everyone, it is a struggle but in the end it will be worth it! At least that is what I keep telling myself
I also have insulin resistance and had gestational diabetes when pregnant. I am so afraid of ending up with type 2 diabetes but am trying to get my control. I tried the insulin resistance diet for a short time and didn't lose hardly any weight so now I am wondering where I went wrong. In the past I have done South Beach and Weight Watchers. I like South Beach but always seem to mess up once I reach phase 2. I am currently back on the weight watchers flex program but might give the core program a try.
