On these tests with the apple, when are people starting their testing, 15

min after the first bite or after the last bite?

I tested then ate the apple. Then set the timer for 15 minutes and

thereafter tested every 15 minutes for 2-1/2 hours.

BTW, , you said you had no other type 1's testing I thought

did a test. She's LADA like me, type 1.

thanks, Vicki. Did you happen to finish the apple in the first 15 minutes?

Oh, sure. It took me about 3 minutes, just guessing here.

I thought I might try this later today. I can't find the original letter.

Are we supposed to be eating just 125 grams of apple or was it to just

provide the weight of the apple we ate?

Thanks, Stacey, I received them in good time and the graph looks good. I'll

be in touch with you when I get all the results assembled.

At this early stage of analysis the truth of the YMMV rule is evident, but

there are also some useful generalities.

Cheers,
