[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 1002305, member: 124172"] The only way that you can see how foods affect you is by testing as we are all different and what suits one of us may have acdetrimental affect on somebody else. For some reason a lot of DRs and DNs object to their patients self testing - why I don't know because it stands to reason that if a patient knows what affect each food has on their BS they can make an informed decision as to whether they eat it or not and in what quantities. It is the people who don't test and eat what they have been advised is 'healthy' that concerns me as they may be unnecessarily causing their BS to rise. At my last review I was asked "why did I want to make my fingers sore" - my response "so that I have good control of my BS" which, with a hba1c of 36, she could not dispute! Ultimately the decision is yours however I know what I would continue to do!! [/QUOTE]
