Hi all. Can anyone tell me if they have had problems with cheese spiking their blood sugar. My test results yesterday were 5.9 all day and then I had a salad with Edam cheese last night and ended up pre bed 7.2 and the same after fasting this morning. It's not making sense to me. Thanks for your help.
 
@figgywiggy - Did you have dressing on your salad, that could have been unexpectedly carby, or was the Edam a processed version?

The only other thing I can think of, off the top of my head, is that you maybe hadn't eaten enough, so your liver was working extremely hard to support your levels? I know I don't get my "best" readings if I'm not eating enough.

Interesting. I M not sure about the Edam. I often don't eat enough but am not really hungry since I started low carbing. Very new to all this and testing like mad trying to find what causes spokes. I had no dressing on the salad. See if it's a one off. Thanks for the reply.
 
Cheese doesn't spike my blood sugar it's seriously low carb, although the protein my impact your blood sugar.

What I find if eat cheese is that it increases my insulin resistance due to the fat content.
 
what sort of cheese is best for a diabetic........I love cheese scones but not made any as unsure wether high or not?

Are you going to make them with flour? If so, very high sugar content! Flour = sugar! Sorry! :(
