[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1494435, member: 410240"] Remember not everyone is the same, also the peak will come at a different time after the meal depending on the mix of food you have. Unless you are testing every 10 minutes so you know you have got the peak it is hard to compare different sorts of carbs. We should also be looking at the area under the BG curve, not the peak height it gets to, so if a meal results in peak BG being a little lower, but above normal BG lasts for longer, the meal may not have been better. (But costly to do this testing, so few people do.) For most of us, [LIST] [*]avoid all added sugar [*]avoid all fruit juices (most of the ‘good’ bits of fruit are moved, just leaving the sugar) [*]avoid nearly all wheat and products containing wheat [*]little or no rice [*]little or no potatos, and they must look like potato, so no mush or chips etc [*][B]test and see what else you need to do[/B] [/LIST] So start with avoiding all high GI foods, and improve with using testing as a tool [/QUOTE]
