[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1309840, member: 94045"] Eating low GI is OK for some diabetics, but by no means all of us, and particularly those not on any diabetes medication. All carbs convert to glucose once in the system, whether low or high GI, it's just that the low GI ones take a bit longer. Nevertheless, they still convert and that glucose will arrive in your blood stream at some point. If I were you I would give low carb a try and see if you get better results. Bread, rice, pasta, cereals (including oats, organic or not), potatoes and flour are the main culprits. I personally cannot eat any carbs for breakfast. It's eggs for me. Once my insulin sensitivity wakes up as the day progresses I can manage up to 30g carbs a day, more than this and my levels increase. Other people can manage 50g or 80g or more carbs a day, whilst some have to keep under 20g. It is a very personal thing. Your meter will tell you what your threshold is. Eat to your meter and you will see a big difference. [/QUOTE]
