Intarcia has completed several late - stage clinical trials in which it uses the pump to deliver a glucose - controlling drug continuously for months — an idea, that if successful (and approved by the FDA) could significantly help patients with type 2 diabetes, fewer than half of whom maintain
the recommended glycemic levels.

Because we tend to de-emphasize grain intake in our WHFoods recipes and meal plans, and because we generally tend to emphasize intake of low
glycemic index foods that have limited to moderate amounts of available carbohydrates, we set a WHFoods recommendation
level of 225 grams for total carbohydrate — about 10 % higher than the low end of the range
recommended by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in its discussion of Dietary Reference Intakes.
Here is a preferred list of some of the foods that are «Low

levels in check.
For our patients, we
recommend a low -
glycemic, plant - based, Paleo - style diet complemented with supplements to balance hormone

However, the effects of dietary fiber on
glycemic control were considered inconsequential.1 Furthermore, the expert panel of the ADA considered it difficult to achieve a high dietary intake of soluble fiber without consuming foods or supplements fortified with fiber.1 We therefore designed the present study to determine the effects on
glycemic control and plasma lipid concentrations of increasing the intake of dietary fiber in patients with type 2 diabetes exclusively through the consumption of foods not fortified with fiber (unfortified foods) to a
level beyond that
recommended by the ADA.
He also
recommends avoiding carbs like white bread and sugar, which have a high
glycemic index, which raise insulin
levels in the blood, and is another factor in inflammation.
A high intake of dietary fiber, particularly of the soluble type, above the
level recommended by the ADA, improves
glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers plasma lipid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.
