[QUOTE="justmeint, post: 420192, member: 80309"] I eat foods that do not spike my blood glucose levels - therefore those that do not spike my insulin. I use my BG Metre to test at 1 and 2 hours to see what works and what does not work. From this I have come to realise that grains, sugars, pastries, potatoes, pasta, rice etc., ALL spike my readings. Therefor it would be safe to say I eat a fairly low carbohydrate diet. I use butter and coconut oil to cook with and use freely also on hot vegetables. I do NOT cut off the fat from my meat. I am a T2 non medicated diet controlled patient. My D Educator is not 100% comfortable with my diet, but can see the results as my morning fasting BG levels are down into the mid 5's now and my A1c is only point 1 over the 'normal range'. I never seem to go over a 7.0 reading 2 hrs. post prandial and I am happy with that also. An article I read recently explains why it is imperative to control sugar/insulin spikes as they damage the entire vasculature system. I can highly recommend it to all diabetics as a basic reading material.
