Same as Cally but I slip a bit too. My main downfall is breakfast (cerials are hugely spikey) and after lunch (snacking )
Dont know why exactly but Ive found that eating the cheaper basic brands of porridge (different names in different supermarkets) doesnt appear to make my bg levels go up high at all. I just use about 3 heaped small dsp in a bowl with some boiling water to just about cover it, wait for 10mins for the water to be absorbed and then add 1 dsp of thickish creamy yogurt, stir it all up and sit down and enjoy. Sometimes I use 2dsp of porridge with 2dsp of ground up almonds and that also is very nice and doesnt really cause any bad spike. Could be the porridge and the smaller flakes..... who knows, Be interesting to see if others get the same effect.
Im Coeliac iHs so cant take part in that experiment. I know porridge takes me up and keeps me up - even very small portions.
yep - didnt find it great taste or bg wise (although better bg wise)Have you tried making porridge with just rice flakes (powa)
