Yesterday I met a diebetician for the first time.
Today I read this.

So much contradictory information.
I doubt very much if it was what most of us here would call "low carb", there may be more written about it or details of the studyThis little study was done "in the context of a DASH-type diet". So just how low carb was the low carb wing? Possibly not very low carb at all. In any event it is impossible to say from what is available to read. In other words, this means nothing to me.
it will be very funny if the LC is actually higher than your 33% carb,Well you always claim I low carb, so if it's a similar ballpark, that should be ok, and give valid results?
It would set the bar for your definition of LC at least.
It would be an ironic twist if my diet became the standard for LC, and I could call myself a guru, based on your approval of it, and my success.
Watch this space I guess?
Quaker oats.So far I haven't found any carbs that don't spike my blood sugar. Anyone have any suggestions? I mean, besides heaping butter on something carby.
Yes it is high but but but ... I think it has some qualities I don't know of which prevent it converting to glucose as quick as something of similar GI ... there are quite a lot of diabetics it seems that are ok with it.Wait, oatmeal had the same GI as All Bran, which spikes my blood sugar.
You could try bulgur wheat. I seem to be able to tolerate it much better than rice etc. it may have to do with the fact that in preparing the wheat is cracked, boiled so partly cooked and then allowed to cool down and (sun) dry.I can eat a small portion of any carb without spiking my blood sugar. I was hoping to find a "low GI" carb that I can eat a decent amount of. However, if two different carbs with the same GI and GL affect people's blood sugar differently, I'm starting to doubt the usefulness of the GI. However, I'll give Quaker oats a try, but unsweetened it doesn't sound very appetizing.
