[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2616169, member: 506169"] Well it would be if it worked! The problem is that we T2's are a vary varied group in the size of reaction we get to various carbs. Some are OK with things like Porridge or carrots (both spike me quite badly ). One member in here [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] has a much larger reaction from pulses than their GI's would predict. We have to find out individually which carbs (at which time of day) affect our bodies most/least - yes, it can even vary a lot based on time of day. Some are much more carb tolerant in the evenings and other in the mornings. All this is why we use BG meters which I see you disparage! At first I thought if I combined GI and GL it would all start to make sense, but it doesn't, our unique gut biomes mean any 'one size fits all' is completely out of the question, apart from the very general thing that the fewer we consume of carbs and particularly the carbs that affect us personally the most, the lower spot BG and thus the lower our HbA1C.
