[QUOTE="))Denise((, post: 687759, member: 27532"] It is a myth that you need carbs from grains and potatoes. You can get all the carbs you need from vegetables that grow above ground and berries. As a diabetic your body no longer processes carbs and sugars very well, so it is best to avoid starchy ones. The reason why it is a good idea to test is to judge how much a particular food raises your blood sugar in two hours. This will tell you how your body is coping with this food and if it rises more than 2 mmol then it is probably not a good idea to either eat this food or as much of it. [/QUOTE]
