IIRC an OGTT uses 75g of glucose and involves fasting beforehand. How much rice, specifically rice starch? (Remember starch is 111.1% glucose...) Presumably the meal in question isn't breakfast.

Note that these work out at 66.7% (2/3) for adults and 70.1% children. The numbers also allow for up to 120g, 90g & 85g (26-27%) to be "sugars". If you allow for "saccharification", hydrolysis of polysaccharides (including disaccharides), then you end up with: 326-333g sugar for men, 250-256g...

But you won't get very far if you follow the NHS "eatwell plate". Whoever came up with this dosn't appear to understand chemistry. In simple terms everything in "Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta..." (yellow) along quite large fraction of "Fruit and vegetables" (green) is also "Foods and drinks high...

In which case your options would appear to be a) buy what fits your criteria from what is available for sale. b) learn to cook. c) pay someone to cook for you. There's huge variation in what people consider "good nutritious food". Regardless of if they are diabetic or not. Such foods (other...

That's your definition. It may not be anyone else's. That's the basic issue. Other people may be concerned about total sugars or total digestable carbohydrate, added or not. If fats are "natural" or have been chemically modified (including changing cis to trans isomers). It also appears to be...

Note that both trans and omega anything apply to unsaturated fatty acids. Omega 6 being a group of mono-unsaturated fatty acids. Which could be trans, could be cis or could be a random mixture of both trans and cis.

The human body requires exactly zero glucose, (galactose or fructose) in the diet. It's perfectly possible for people to eat diets containing a very low proportion of carbohydrates indefinitly. This is a diabetic forum. Diabetics are people with an impaired ability to metabolise sugars, which...

Hardly an issue with just "diabetic food" as recent events have proved. Indeed the problem of meat products not being from the described species of animal still appears ongoing, 3 months after it first hit the headlines.

Probably not "low carb" given the first thing on the ingredients list. Together with 3 other ingredients which equate to "processed starch". Looks like it also contains maltose which has the highest GI of any carbohydrate. Don't see any sign of coffee anywhere. With any "cream" being...

I presume you mean no added sugar, since I'm unaware of any sugar free apples. If you can't find what you want ready made, then you always have the option of making it yourself. Which gives you total control over the flour, fat and fruit used. Together with the proportion of pastry (shortcrust...

Sausages appear to vary quite a bit in meat content. Lidl do pork sausages which are 95% meat, I've not seen anything similar in other supermarkets. Though you can get high meat sausages from butchers, especially those which will make them to order. With low fat mayonnaise starch is most likely...

Processed forms of starch are also common as "thickeners". e.g. low fat dairy products. (Even including baby milk.) Even "unrefined" carbohydrates can be very easily and quickly digested. Most obviously those in rice and potatoes. Note that due to a quirk of chemistry disaccharides (sucrose...

This would make more sense subsituting VLDL for LDL and LDL for HDL.

Sounds like you are confusing cholesterol with lipoproteins. This, unfortunatly, appears to be fairly common. Lipoproteins are small capsules which enable compounds which are non water soluble to be carried in blood. One of these is cholesterol. Others include fats and fat soluble vitamins...

I'm apparently on a 3 month schedule. But have to remember to make the appointment myself. Apparently nobody in the NHS has ever heard of Harry Nyquist...

I got the no need to test, only HbA1c results matter. Also got a pack advising "starch with every meal" diet. Bought meter and test strips myself. I'd already cut down on starchy foods anyway, "healthy" shredded wheat went too when I saw what it was doing to by blood glucose level.

Fruits which are often called "vegetables" such a peppers, cucumbers, courgettes, etc. tend to be low in sugar. Tomatos are a berry. Rhubarb cannot possibly be called a "fruit". It's a leaf stem. In truth the only way to find out what's right for you appears to be "eat to your meter".

44 type 2. Given a random test in A&E (referred due to possible acute Glaucoma). Family history of T2, but dad was 60 when he was diagnosed.
