Carbs (including "good" carbs) shoot my blood sugar up--with or without concurrent proteins. It seems to me that I would deteriorate rapidly if I went back to my old high-carb diet. I now aim for a moderately-low-carb high-fiber diet. Every time I stray from that, I can see a big blood sugar rise.

I have done high carb and high protein for over a year. Not only have my blood sugars come down significantly, I have lost 50lbs. I find this combination makes me less hungry, so less likely to pick high calorie junk in between.

The article says the protein was "specially formulated mixture of protein and amino acids (casein hydrolysate, leucine, and phenylalanine)" ---- how that can be extrapolated to people eating any old protein mix with extra carbs is unscientific. Now, if I could get this mix in order to have the occasional piece of cake, that would be great and I might try it, but I don't see it on the grocery store shelves. As with other commentors, I can NOT eat carbs and protein and have low blood sugar.

This report seems contrary to everything I've been told about diabetic eating. Has anybody tried this out?
