Re: Sweet potaoes
Shortly after I was diagnosed I tried low GI, after initally just cutting sugar and junk food. What you describe is exactly the kind of problem I had. I found it quite confusing and an awful lot of work for a fairly minor reduction in my blood sugar readings after a month (although I did lose more weight, but this had started by simply cutting sugar and junk).
After a month on low GI I still could not go shopping without the sodding book in my hand, and my head was spinning, eating this with that but not the other :crazy:
I went low carb after about a month and the impact on my blood glucose was amazing - and I was far less confused about what I was doing and I lost a whole lot more weight. Shopping is so much easier, I didn't need to take the book with me... :mrgreen:
I have been low carbing since may 2009
