Think of eating an orange rather than the OJ. You've got pulp, along with the process of eating the orange, body supplies insulin in a nice and steady state. With the OJ the response is a big bolus of insulin, which contributes to insulin resistance over time, and probably affects the production of insulin. Glycemic indexes are one area to research. If you're having pasta, have it el dente, less of an insulin spike. Microwaved potatoes create less of an insulin spike than baked potatoes. You'll learn what you can eat with out creating such high insulin needs and spikes. We're finding out now that cholesterol may not be as important as once thought (low LDL), we are realizing that cholesterol control is not leading to much for better patient outcomes. There is a response involving inflammation that appears to correlate with adverse outcomes; cholesterol plays a role. If I was a type II diabetic (I am not, nor do I follow any particular diet, outside of eating healthy as much as possible) with mostly insulin resistance, I would get my diet under control and develop an exercise program. I would consider Metformin as it can cause a weight loss, with the goal to be off within a year.</blockquote>
