[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 10925, member: 1338"] Hi Christine, I have always found this to be a useful website for GI and carb information: [url=http://www.bupa.co.uk/health_information/html/healthy_living/lifestyle/exercise/diet_exercise/gi_table.html]http://www.bupa.co.uk/health_informatio ... table.html[/url] but unfortunately you can't carry a website round the shops with you, and a lot of people have recommended a Collins Gem book called "Carb Counter". This is small enough to take shopping with you for an instant guide to foods that don't have the carb content listed (like fruit & veg). If you want to try a low-carb diet then you will need to cut out all wheat and oat products, pasta, rice and potatoes. These are often referred to as "empty" carbs as they provide very little other than starch. Instead you might just want to try cutting down on these to see what affect that has on your BS. If you need a between meals snack then nuts are very good because they are high protein and low carb, but steer clear of peanuts - these are not nuts at all but are members of the pea family and are extremely high in carbs.
