Bulgar wheat

[Prem51]

After watching last night's BBC1 program, 'The Truth About ...' (Carbohydrates), I think I'll try Bulgur Wheat as an alternative to rice.

Well I found Bulgur Wheat in Tesco and tried it with some fish curry last night. I had about 80g of the Bulgur Wheat, which according to the nutrition information should have been only about 16g of carbs. But my bg spiked from 4.9 before eating to 8.0 (!) two hours later. It can only have been due to the Bulgur Wheat as the rest of the meal only totalled 26.4 g carbs.

I will try it again to see if it was the cause of the spike, but probably won't be buying it again.
