Sorry for the late reply
You can read my two year update above and get some info on my case. Incidentally, by BG was 599 when I figured it out.
So, ok. I have thought about that question you posed as well. I don't think we could ever "cure" ourselves, but here is an experiment I did during Christmas Dinner last year. Keep in mind that I wasn't on any meds.
Before Eating Glucose
93
2 slice pecan pie wiith cool whip
Turkey
Cornbread dressing
cranberry saucee
green bean cassarole
Ok, so I figure since the pecan pie is almost all karo syrup, I am thinking about 120 sugars, and the flour out of the cornbread, and I figured about 200 carbs total one meal.
1 hr BG: 205
2 hr BG: 170
3 hr BG: 130
The 2 hr BG is a bit off the 160 for the ADA recommendation. The 3 hour is pretty good.
So the answer, I don't know. Obviously, I am not as insulin resistance as I used to be. I seriously doubt I could eat like that very often. Gained 6 pounds that day :-)
Don't know what to make of those results, but here they are.
