[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2692257, member: 155453"] Our bodies have no Idea what colour our food is, all carbs when digested will be converted to glucose. The wholemeal/brown carbs may take a little longer to digest but eventually their glucose will make its way into your blood. You can prove this to yourself by testing around your meals. Test just before you eat your rice and again 2hrs later, the difference between the two results show what that food has done to your levels. Depending on what the meal was, people who don't have a blood sugar control problem will see their blood sugar return to pre meal levels within the 2hrs. If there were too many carbs for your body to deal with, your blood sugar will still be elevated for some time longer than the 2hrs. Because our testing equipment is not as accurate as we would like, it's sensible to allow a 2mmol margin. This is how many of us (T2's) have managed to reduce or avoid any medication, we use our meters to design a diet that keeps our levels in check. Ps, Rice of any colour sends my levels way higher than I like, same for grapes and bananas [/QUOTE]
