[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1735939, member: 196898"] I have been using LC diet for a few years now, and I have recovered some of my beta cell functions to the point of being relatively carb tolerant again. My 2hr PP is usually lower than my premeal, but rarely rises by more than 1 mmol/l above it. Last night was a milestone B'day for me, and we splashed out on a boef bourguignon meal. Now this uses ingredients that I have previously used for things like curry, stews, casseroles etc, and I had a couple of small pototoes that I have found do not affct my bgl. So I was surptised to experience a 3 point rise in bgl that lasted well into the night beyond the 4 hr PP time. The one thing that was not previously tested was the sauce / gravy which came in a premixed sachet (Schwarz). Now I suspect this was the cause of my spike since it was the only untested item in the meal. It listed carbs as 75 per 100g, but the pack contained less than 100 g, and was split 6 ways by the meal. So I do not think it was carbs alone that I was sensitive to. I think the ingredient labelled as modified starch may be the culprit, since I have noted on previous occasions that Mono Sodium Glutamate (MSG) has spooked me in the past. So I think the warning I take from this is to avoid premixed gravy mixes and sauces with MSG in them. So again I will cook from scratch in future and pass on the cheaper ready meals and frozen TV dinners. [/QUOTE]
