cornflakes

[Mbaker]

The flakes are essentially carbohydrate - high in starch. When digested the long molecules of starch are chopped up into shorter pieces, which are sugars, and then absorbed from gut to bloodstream which is where diabetics begin to have problems. The problems are different for the different types, and where a type one could use insulin to improve things for many type 2s that's not really an option - though type 2s can be complicated.

Totally agree, the picture is complex and not linear, but as @Ronancastled has shown with the link, rises are ridiculously high. I have seen similar for bread etc. The questions are how many years can anyone keep doing this in general and what nutrition does this add. The only upside I can see of these food like products are convenience.

Bad for everyone not just us diabetics
