I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but is the Insulin Resistance Diet good if you are diabetic? I only ask, because of the emphasis on the difference between being insulin resistant and diabetic, which I am. I have been doing the IR diet for a few weeks. Is this ok, or do I need to do a stricter "diabetic diet"? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello

I have been wondering the same thing so I went on a hunt and I finally found a sample page of the IR diet book that says the diet can significantly improve Diabetes Type II. If you want to take a look for yourself the url is http://www.insulinresistancediet.com/sample/intro3.jpg If that doesn't work just go over to amazon.com and you will be able to read a few pages from the book there. It is on page three that they mention diabetes.

I am thinking about starting it myself. I have not been diagnosed with diabetes, but my blood sugars have been higher than normal. I have an appt with an endo on the 24th.

Good luck to you!
