Hey Pauline, Im a type 2 diabetic who found fighter diet in 2009. I was told by my doctor I can stop insulin! I am wondering if youve had experience with this from other fighter diet followers who are in their mid 40s? Also, a quick question if you dont mind. Should I still refeed since Im sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations?-Margie Answer: Margie, thats great news! With food choices and exercise you got yourself free from medication. Yes, its not the first time Ive heard about this and youre in a big group of other people who find themselves surprised by the power of the right nutrition. Regarding refeeds, I suggest you base the carbs on slow releasing carbs and avoid refined sugars. Note that protein and fats also slow down the carbs, so always have protein with your foods. Refeeds or not is a personal choice and if you dont want them I suggest you include a weekly treat instead. (Lot of people ask for a glass of wine and to them I say sure, you can use that instead for a refeed but then I suggest two glasses!)
