You might want to post a question on the SPII website. I did and they did respond in about a week or so. That is an interesting question. I would not even want to guess.

On your Diabetes food plan what level of carbs do they suggest? I would for now just eat healthy foods, like the Ezekial Bread, Ak-Mak crackers. Stay away from the processed foods and chemicals and hormones and such. When sending the email my suggestion is to keep it simple. The one I sent was long and I was so confused it probably seemed scattered to them. Therefore I was not completely happy with the answer. Just mention that you are not able to do the lab tests right now and ask them what they suggest. Schwarzbein is supposedly training doctors right now on her program. Maybe ask if there is anyone they could refer you to. Maybe that doctor will be on your health plan or at least you can get an out of network benefit.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.
