I test negative for diabetes according to every test taken multiple times. When queried, my neuro (specialist in PN) says I'm not borderline, pre-diabetic, insulin resistant, glucose intolerant, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Yet my body (PN) seems to respond as if I were diabetic, so I listen to my body, and follow those rules. When I asked the neuro about that, the response was, "Well, we don't know everything." OK, I can deal with that.
A few times I've suggested someone try the same thing—eat as if they're diabetic and see if it makes any difference. Sometimes the response is, "But I'm not diabetic!" That's not the point—I'm not either. I'm a big proponent of,
If it can't hurt to try it, then it can't hurt to try it. If it doesn't make any difference, no harm done. OTOH, if it does make a difference, at least they've found something that may help—even if only a little.
