[QUOTE="julie56, post: 1157214, member: 88494"] Sadly if you have diabetes then carbs are best avoided as much as possible as the body can't utilise them very well. All carbs turn to sugar during digestion so it is best to just look at the total carbs on packets for guidance. Rice, pasta, bread, cakes, biscuits and cereals are amongst the worst offenders, particularly the white variety. If you go for the wholegrain variety (brown) then the blood sugar rises more slowly, but it is best to really cut back on quantities. Some people can cope with some foods better than others, so it is best to test your blood sugars immediately before and two hours after eating meals to help find out what you can tolerate. No doubt you will soon learn all about this with help from forum members. [/QUOTE]
