Hi,
Am in a pickle or even the doghouse. My wife has T2 diabetes and is trying to change her diet using Prof Taylors books as a guide. One thing she aims for is a portion of starchy vegetables per day and The guide says any starchy vegetables including peas / green beans. I bought a pack of fresh podded peas which are in his recommended list without checking much and she decided to eat the lot. Then she found they have 3.6g of carbs per 100g (3.6g sugar per 100g) and tells me she feels ill and now has pins/needles in her feet. In her book 3.6g/100 (roughly 7 for the pack) is too much and I shouldnt be buying the stuff or anything like it.
My question is what is the maximum level per portion of carbs/sugar that we should aim for?. Note that she has probs with almost any meds (and off them till we see GP next week), has Hashimoto's and erosive gastritis as well as T2.
I should say I believe she is over-reacting, but I'm not an expert.
