I am a T1 since 3yrs.
I read on the forum often people talking about how a certain food spike their blood sugar so they decide to avoid it.
I thought spikes were avoided by timing the bolus correctly and with the right ratio, aren't they? Or do some foods spike BG more than their theoretical carb payload?
I seem to be alone in thinking that high GI food can be better than Low GI for control, because you can time the spike with the bonus delivery, as opposed to low GI where the rise, albeit not sharp, will come much later when insulin has worn off?
