No Study Results Posted:

When results are not available for a study, the results record tab is labeled, “No Study Results Posted.” Results may not be posted for any of the following reasons:

•The study may not be subject to the Federal results reporting requirements
•The study is completed, but the deadline for results reporting has not been reached
•The results have been submitted, but have not yet been posted (e.g., pending review by ClinicalTrials.gov)
•Submission of results information has been delayed with certification
•A request for extending the submission deadline has been submitted to NIH

I am interested in the results also but don’t know how to go about finding out which one of the above reasons is causing the results not to be posted.

Since the study completion date has been over 3 years now, I would think that the results should have been reviewed by and posted unless the results did not meet the reporting requirements (in which case, they should indicate the status of the reporting results in the tab).

Maybe Scott has more information on this study.

Alas, it was not, for me. But I have type 2 diabetes. I experience constant hunger, carbohydrate cravings, weight gain, and unstable blood sugars if I include fruits, tubers, or more than a very modest amount of nuts in my diet. However, a diet of meat, eggs, and controlled portions of non-starchy vegetables gives me normal sugars and prevents weight gain.

That some of us cannot handle fruit is not surprising when you consider that modern varieties have been bred for high sugar content, and bear little resemblance to “paleofruit.”

You had me for a second there. I thought you were actually thinking the study results would actually change something until I read the last paragraph. I would guess same reaction that happens when the results of every controlled clinical study of a LC diet on diabetes comes out.

The main difficulty I had back then was that I had to calculate everything as I cooked and ate. Recipes did not have carb calculations for the most part. I hated eating separate piles of food, instead of multi-ingredient one-dish dinners. But I realized that it was good for me, in fact I ate far better at the end of the pregnancy than I did up until the GDM diagnosis. I gained enough for the pregnancy, but not a lot of excess weight (I weighed 14 pounds more after the birth than my prepregnancy weight and all that plus a few more pounds were gone with six mos of breastfeeding).

But I went back to my breadmaking, and whole grain high carb ways before long, though I did have a healthy respect for reducing or eliminating empty carbs from my diet. But started to gain 5 pounds a year for no good reason and in 5 years was 20 pounds overweight. No change in several months of going to the YMCA to exercise, either. In January 2004 I stopped going to the gym and I went back to a low carb diet, which was much easier the 2nd time around because Dana Carpender’s cookbooks (& others) were on the scene. The weight came off so easily and my interest in cooking was reinvigorated (I had come to rely on Trader Joe’s convenience foods *too much*.

So my experience with the ADA diet was awful. And my experience with low carb has been great (in fact, it kept my fasting blood sugar so steady and even lower than before my pregancy, that my doctors never did follow up with another post partum GTT, so they never realized that I had a glucose metabolism problem all along (it probably wasn’t just during pregnancy). When I did insist on a GTT this year (9 yrs post pregancy) because out of curiosity I started testing with a meter again, my doctors were shocked to see how high my post-glucose results were. I was already treating the diabetes with a low carb diet, and my glucose only goes to diabetic high levels if I take the glucose tolerance test or eat high carb foods. The rest of the time it is in the 80-110 range.
