@callalloo I have spent 28 years dealing with glucose and insulin. My point was that demonizing "sugar" is more complicated. White rice is worse than ice cream, for instance, in terms of how fast acting the sugar is. And all carbs create glucose.

Fat is the other place post-menopausal estrogen can be found, apparently. I am too thin. I get calories where I can.

@lisajoann my docs would not allow more treatment. Glad you have flexible docs. I would consider a SERM for bones after Tymlos except I already have a clot risk.

I do know about other foods that break down into sugar and create insulin spikes, etc. I was just trying to keep it simple. Luckily, I don't have anything complicated that necessitates a deeper understanding of metabolic biochemistry. If I eliminate all refined sugar from my diet (no mean feat but do-able), that's a huge improvement.
