Message: <blockquote data-quote="MarcoRiveira" data-source="post: 1098974" data-attributes="member: 260678">I eat low gi carbs like low GI rice and bread, but really small portions (like 2 tablespoons of low GI rice or 1 slice of low GI bread).  The bulk of the rest of the meal for me would be proteins, some vegetables, and some fat.  Today, I measured 5.6 before lunch (no breakfast), took my meds, had the meal mentioned, got 7.7 after 1 hour, 5.7 after 2 hours, 4.6 after 3 hours.  My Diamicron MR 30mg med really suits me, it starts working best when I've eaten something.So for me, others may be different, low-GI carbs can still give a good spike, but having less makes it go away faster.  End of the day, I think less carbs whether low-GI or not is the way to go.</blockquote>
