I consider that scary. Have you tried eating some fat with it? There has
been research that shows that damage does occur above 105 or so. It's
good that it goes back down quickly, but given the loose way the medical
establishment has dealt with diabetes in the past, I'd rather err on the
side of caution. Most of the time, anyway.

I thought normal BG was between 70-130 - so 105 would be smack dab in the
middle of normal - why would that cause damage?

For a non-diabetic, BG ranges are much tigher than the range you list there.
For example, a person who is non-diabetic won't see peaks up to even 130
within 2 hours of eating. So, the ranges have more to do with diagonsis and
safey margins, and not just where is normal.

As for why would a 105+ cause damage, well, that's what I've read on an
journal paper linked off Jenny's page. I can't answer "why", other than
that's what the study claimed, as I recall.

As I understand it, this is only true for active culture yogurt. If
it's not full of live cultures, nobody's eating the sugar and making
whatever they make out of it, so no halfing the carb count. Most
yogurts people buy do not have active cultures. Most greek yogurts
people have do (and it's lower in carbs anyway). That's about the
extent of my knowledge on this, but I believe that a yogurt with
active cultures will say so on the label.

I find Total Greek yoghurt from Fage suits my diet well. It is
strained, so thick and creamy, but lower carb than anything else i can
find. It's live, and imo one of the best yoghurts regardless of it's
carb count. They don't sell it as low carb. http://www.totalgreekyoghurt.com/

So, I get this from time to time as well. The store across the street
used to carry the 7oz package, which is, I guess the 200g one on the
site you dropped. That's 6.4g per serving, maximum possible count. I
stir a packet of Splenda into it, and it makes it a little more
interesting, cause it's pretty sour to my palate. That's 7.4g/serving,
maximum, without any active culture yogurt carb halving action.

As always, depending on your acceptable levels of carbs, can fit very
nicely in a program. With ~14G of protein, it made a nice post workout
snack with a couple of HB eggs. Course, I'm on Protein Power, sothe
protein is as important as the carbs.

Please post the research site of the study that says that 105 bg is
harmful.

This is good news for you, I think. If you can have little impact from a
high protein meal, then you'll likely get little impact if add fat to that
as well. Combine that with very LC veggies & oils, and you're golden. That
is realistics. As a diabetic, carbs have the biggest impact on BG. Protein
can cause problems for some. Of course, as your goal is to lose weight, if
you stick to it you're unlikely to be overeating protein. Hence, again, I
think you're golden!

Personally, I'd skip the meds and keep my BG under control. If you're able
to include some exercise and keep your carbs coming from nutritious LC
veggies, then you'll likely be able to come above 20/day. I'm not sure how
much I'd be interested in increasing carbs at the expense of BG control and
going on meds. Your meter is your friend and it can guide you. Exercise
works wonders in helping many get better control. And it helps you lose
weight, look better, and stay off meds.

Stoneybrook farms yogurt is good, very creamy. I'm addicted to the
stuff. I mix it with either berries or DaVinci's Kahlua flavored
syrup.

Dannon Plain is similar enough to be a decent replacement when I'm
shopping somewhere that doesn't carry the Stoneybrook stuff. It's
similar nutritionally, but not nearly as decadent.

The trick is getting the full-fat stuff; most places carry the low-fat
or fat-free stuff, but not always the full-fat stuff. Then you don't
need to worry about adding fat to it.

As for the bg stuff, I believe bg levels above 100 are abnormal and
cause some minimal amount of damage. On the other hand, I can't keep
mine below 120-140 or so even on a *no* carb diet, fasting, or on
metformin.

I presume it'd take insulin to get consistently below 140 and I'm not
yet willing to commit to that for the rest of my life. So I
personally consider 140 to be my goal and consider that "good
enough". It sure as heck beats the 300-400 I'd be seeing eating pasta
and bread.

I've been diabetic for 18 years and can still achieve 140 easily at
around 40-50g carb/day, which is do-able for me long-term. To me, a
goal I can achieve reasonably is more important than the absolute
lowest possible goal. I expect to have diabetes another 4 or 5
decades and have to manage it in a way that is livable for me, which
is not at all the same as an ideal method.

Default Kroger Carb Master Yogurt -- Fantastic

Hi Jackie!

Good to see you in here! Hope you're well.

I can't find the full-fat Stoneybrook stuff, dammit!

I'm fortunate on the BG thing. I've been a T2 over half of my life now and
I'm in the mid 80s when I wake up and just LC alone with keep my under 100
24/7. With exercise and LC, I can quickly get into the low 70s or into the
60s, where I feel like crap. Long bike rides without carbs will give me a
hypo and I'll be washed out for the rest of the day.
