[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1895323, member: 41816"] [USER=468065]@Bananas 2[/USER] I absolutely respect your decision to prioritise GI and GL. I am very familiar with both concepts and know my way round the calculations and the theories. It may work like a charm for you. But your comments do not accurately cover my experiences. I found focusing on GI and GL an impediment to my glucose control, and extremely frustrating when one teaspoon full of brown rice or a tablespoon of flageot beans affected my blood glucose more than an entire large jacket potato. Or when eating grains made my blood glucose unstable for days, while eating a sugary dessert barely blipped my meter. So I gave up on GI/GL and turned to methods of blood glucose control that I have found, through years of personal experience, to be much more effective. There are, as described above, eating to my meter, understanding that there is a great deal more to blood glucose control than number crunching, and choosing to eat only foods that my body can eat without glucose spikes. I am happy to admit that there are autoimmune issues at work, and other food intolerances. Also happy to admit that some people get on very well with GI/GL. However, GI/GL does not work for me as its proponents claim it should, and for some of us (many?) focusing on GI/GL is actually an impediment to glucose control, and does more harm than good. It is certainly the case for me. [/QUOTE]
