- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
Looked into the current edition of the Diabetes UK magazine "Balance" and did a calculation on the blood glucose raising potential of their lentil soup recipe.
Given that there are 180grams of carb in 1000 mmol, and 35.3grams per portion that means that each portion of soup contains 196mmol. Given that the average blood volume of an adult is about 5 litres the potential for raising blood glucose, of that portion of soup is 39.2 mmol/l. this result is so scary, I'd be delighted if someone could find a flaw in my sums.
this argument supposes that all the carb turns to glucose [which it usually does] and that none is mopped up by insulin [as in T1 diabetes]
And this recipe is for diabetics!!
