Thank you respected member for the pains taken to dig up the paper diabetes.org.in/journal/200... {GLYCEMIC AND LIPIDEMIC RESPONSE TO DICOCCUM
WHEAT (TRITICUM DICOCCUM) IN THE DIET OF DIABETIC PATIENTS
N B Yenagi*, R R Hanchinal*, C S Patil**, V Koppikar**, M Halagi**}
This paper has a real pearl lying hidden. It is a matter of great satisfaction that in spite of the facts that some great experts carried out the study, wrote the paper & got it published in an appropriate journal and many more greater experts studied & quoted the paper, it was only a "Tom-Dick-and-Harry-class of " ordinary Shooter George who was destined to notice this pearl.

The paper said: "....Glycemic and lipidemic responses to incorporation
of dicoccum whole wheat flour in the diet of diabetic
patients for six weeks in comparison with common
bread wheat flour were evaluated....Subjects were randomly asked to incorporate
dicoccum whole wheat flour (13 subjects) as group I
or bread wheat flour (9 subjects) as group II. About
200-300g of flour daily was added to any two meals
(breakfast/lunch/supper) in the form of unleavened
bread for six weeks. Subjects were assessed
fortnightly for six weeks. Blood glucose was estimated
periodically....Dicoccum, the hulled wheat commonly
called by the name as ‘jave or khapli wheat’ differs
from commercially available bread and durum wheat,
by its physical characteristics, nutritional and
processing quality parameters and also, cultivation
practices....subjects inclusive of both
genders were selected for the study from Diabetes
Specialities Center, Hubli. The Ethics Committee of
the University gave approval for the study.... "

The point that authors left unnoticed in the paper & caught my attention as VERY IMPORTANT is:
THE INCREASE IN BLOOD SUGAR THAT HAPPENED DUE TO THE EXPERIMENTAL DIET IN 2 FORTNIGHTS WAS REVERTED BY THE NEXT 1 FORTNIGHT IN THE CASE OF GROUP I (who used dicoccum whole wheat flour) BUT NOT SO IN THE CASE OF GROUP II (who used bread wheat flour)!!!
THIS STUDY INDICATES THAT EVEN LW FLOUR MAY WORK (not only mash!) in regulating Blood Sugar of Diabetes patients.
The referred SCIENTIFIC PAPER is certainly a great encouragement to all those who are on LWNDR as well as those who are contemplating on trying LWNDR.
More than a decade ago God Almighty made experts prepare EVIDENCE for my experience to show you.
More interesting thing is that HE made the one who fights LWMDR tooth & nail bring the evidence to my notice!!! THE LORD convinces me that I am on the right path. PRAISE THE LORD!
