Okay, sounds like a plan. Will take a 1 hour and a 2 hour reading and reply back here. Thanks for the guidance!

Personally I'd do 1.5 and 2 if only doing two.

I hope it goes well for you. I miss bananas.

Okay, 1.5 hours later, and I'm getting a reading of 8.1. Littler higher than I expected. Will do another at the 2 hour mark.

Bear in mind that it would be a huge coincidence if 8.1 was your peak.

I made an avocado pudding recently that tasted of bananas. Very weird.

Perhaps if the smoothie experiment is unsatisfactory, avocado would be a good substitute for the banana.

Are you fond of avocados?

Okay... Drum roll.... 2 hours and I'm at 7.8

Hmmm interesting thought. I find avocados very rich tasting. As a result I only have one a week.

Not too bad. Another thing to consider is whether you feel hungry sooner after consuming fructose and lactose compared to something fatty or proteiny. Guess that would be difficult to measure though.

Looks like you are on the right road.

So 2.5 up from pre?
I consider that quite bad.

Thanks. There quite a bit of peanut butter in it as well. I usually last between 3 and 4 hours with these smoothies. Might adjust this a bit by purchasing smaller bananas, which should lower my numbers in theory.

I also found that my numbers are lower with buttermilk vs 1% normal milk. I remembering reading some place that the acid helps. Might have to consider that in a smoothie in the future..... Although not sure if a tangy smoothie is all that appealing right now.

The results from my tasty and satisfying meal tonight are.
Pre 5.2.
One hour 5.6.
One and a half hours- 5.9
2 hours 4.7.
Non Diabetic results achieved by diet alone.
Cut the carbs.

Some thing I plan on working on in the long term. Right now I'm not spiking anywhere near where I was. Might look in to non-dairy milks and see what that does. On a whole, when I do have the smoothie, that's the only piece of fruit for the day. On my egg days I have an apple as a mid day snack. Probably not much different.

Nice, looks like I have a goal in front of me. Do you mind sharing the menu to give me some insight?

You might try tweaking your smoothie with almond milk..and the odd avocado of course.
