As jrhana pointed out, when you go to the ADA web site, it's not as bad as the excerpts look, but it still seems wrongheaded. I spent some time looking around there because I'm perplexed by their emphasis on a low fat diet. The only thing I can think of is that they equate high fat diets with weight gain, gaining weight being about the worst thing you can do diabetes-wise. I see nothing to indicate that fat is directly a problem for diabetics or anyone else. It would seem to be a proxy for weight gain. Nothing else makes sense.

Re diabetes, the reason I've started reading in that arena is that my fasting blood glucose has been creeping up over the last year or so. It is not yet diabetic but closing in so I've been trying to stave that off.

In the course of my data gathering I have discovered the weirdest thing, so weird I can't find anything about it on the web. My highest blood glucose is overnight. It's in the one hundred teens and twenties, mostly, in the morning. But as soon as I eat something, it drops like the proverbial rock, twenty or thirty points, even once over forty, down to normal. If anyone has any ideas about why that might be or how I might research it, I'd appreciate the help.
