Hi KennyA, I assume (from context) you're replying to me - one reason I joined was to test 'info received' against members' actual experience. My GI comment was based on something like this "Raw tomatoes have a relatively low glycemic index (GI), which means they’re unlikely to cause a...

Proof, if needed, that everyone's circs (and to an extent, received advice) differs : -))

Me too, and I was kinda relieved coz I wasn't particularly enjoying finger-pricking once or more a day and it seemed a bit pointless as it varied so much compared to the baseline data I'd acquired (4WIW I have a background in stats/bioscience so I have some idea of what I'm talking about). The...

You might try H&B's zero-carb range (noodles/pasta/rice/couscous). I was very sceptical but with enough flavourings it's actually OK and quite filling (1 pack does 3 meals for me) so the portion-size is good for those managing diab. that way.

Try the "juice" from SY borettane onions (it's balsamic, yum).

4WIW this occurred to me too recently. I love toms, especially Mutti plums - I think they (and Cirio, Napolina etc.) are minimal carb-wise and the sugar in a portion (for me 2toms/third of a tin) is negligible. I understand cooked ones spike GI.

Hi, 66yo, still slaving over a hot workstation, diagnosed pre-d a year back @46. I was told at the surgery that 48 was the cutoff for diabetes 'proper' so this graphic puts that in a slightly different light. June25 number 45, go back in Oct - so at least I'm going in the right direction. I...

I thought cooking toms spiked the GI? (Jeff, 66, I'm pre-diab. so v much new to all this)
