[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 110118, member: 16530"] I don't view GI as a "healthier" diet, whatever that's supposed to mean, but I rely on [u]knowing[/u] the relative GI value of different foods, so that I can bolus insulin correctly. I'm not aware of any other reference that provides this information? Try eating a plate of pasta with a normal/standard insulin bolus and see how long it takes to go hypo? Not my idea of fun. Because I know that pasta has a fairly low GI value, I also know to spread the bolus over a number of hours, that way maintaining a flat bg level throughout. Simples. [/QUOTE]
