Number 2 I have heard of before regarding potatoes and pasta. I have heard that if you buy red potatoes (Less starchy) peel them and soak them in cold water in the fridge overnight, then boil them for 15 mins let them go cold, then boil them again until cooked then eat..This is supposed to get rid of a lot of the starch and make them resistant.This is on the BBC webste, and I am posting it as a discussion since some of us will probably want to disagree with what is being said.

SurpriseI don't plan on reading it, but I'll make a wild prediction that it contains all the usual dietitian BS about "healthy, whole grains"

4. The best way to eat bread – toasted straight from the freezer
Actually this works for me. If a have a small slice of fresh sourdough with butter the resulting BG rise is acceptable, but if I have a similar slice from the freezer toasted with butter the BG rise is negligible by comparison.
IWhat happens if you let it defrost and use as ‘bread’ fir a sandwich and not toast?
The tips on cold pasta and frozen bread are all about resistant starch. I can only speculate that when you freeze wheat it does something to the cell structure that make it resistant to being fully digested and spiking your blood glucose....As a type 1 this would not make enough of a difference to make me want to eat it but could be an effective method for a type 2 to mitigate the effect of bread if that is what you crave. All down to what you can tolerate in the way of carbs I guess.Is that only if it’s toasted? What happens if you let it defrost and use as ‘bread’ fir a sandwich and not toast?
The logic here is that one way to apparently treat rampant bgl in T2D is to administer exogenous insulin thus keeping insulin levels high. This forces excess glucose into the tissues so bgl levels apparently drop thus it is a successful (?) strategy, So the nurse is only following the NHS mantra. Keep trying to shove it into the liver and that extra bulk storage area that has appeared around the midriff, and everybody is happy No?Repeat post but Type 2 diabetes expert nurse: eat 6 small meals a day (don’t let insulin levels drop!) and eat wide variety of healthy whole grains, fruits, vegetables and only lean low fat meat.
Lecturing while obese, pushing Rx, job security not in question.
That's how my T2D was treated for 4 years. At the start of treatment no retinopathy and low risk feet.The logic here is that one way to apparently treat rampant bgl in T2D is to administer exogenous insulin thus keeping insulin levels high.
