    In a dilema

    Hi I just thought I would add that my mum is a type 1 diabetic and my dad is a type 2 diabetic and they both enjoy bananas. My mum even has banana sandwiches and her BG levels are normal, mostly under 6 so it is what works for you, try half a banana instead and see what happens to your BG...
