[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1635106, member: 160151"] Muffins are my own low carb design... cheese, almond flour, eggs mustard and some herbs... I do sometimes add onion and garlic too, but obviously you would not add that. M'twem is a soup from Algeria. I like to add and take away from recipes to suit my diet... as long as it tastes good! I have never risen with green veg. But then everyone is different, I used to get annoyed when people tell me you can have something because it is (in their opinion) impossible to raise Bgl... yet I know it will badly effect me. So I won't question your list... onion is a root veg and I couldn't have tomato in the beginning either. Blueberries I google were OK and apparently are a super food for lowering bgl! Have you kept a diary of bgl with the food? I did the same as when weaning a baby onto food- add one food at a time and then check to make sure they can tolerate it (for a baby it is to wait 24 hours to see if they react to it) for diabetic it would be to check Bgl, I did it hourly because some foods take longer to react, so it may be a certain food you ate earlier in the day caused a sudden unexplainable spike hours later... for one bad "treat", you may be reacting to it for a week. I added one at a time because of this, it may be another food you are reacting to rather than the one you think it is. The only way to find out what you can and can't eat is by testing... I honestly don't think weight has much to do with diabetes, yes it was nice to lose weight however being "over weight" doesn't guarantee you diabetes... it felt terrible to sit in hospital listening to someone boasting that the doctors are saying she is too fat and that they are surprised she doesn't have diabetes and how they keep testing her and she keeps coming back "clean"... yet there I am a lot smaller than her... diabetic! I don't like to think like that. What I did read was that there is something wrong in our bodies which causes the beta cells to over work and die. The other beta cells then have a harder time trying to produce insulin to cover the basil line as well as the insulin needed to cover food... as well as then produce more beta cells to replace the dead ones! Those beta cells then get over worked and die etc etc etc... this is why the last blood test to change to show diabetes is actually the fasting bloods as it gives the beta cells time to tackle the glucose... however it doesn't give them time to produce a stock of insulin to cover breakfast or replenish the dead cells. That's why I started fasting, to give the beta cells a rest. Since then I have been able to tolerate more foods. That was my theory but then it doesn't take insulin resistance into account...
