[QUOTE="tazzle, post: 338413, member: 52126"] I certainly have been. I niavely thought that a straight count of carbs would set the blood levels ok :lolno: :lolno: :lolno: nowt so simple is it ? I expected bread of course espescially the white variety ( dont have it often but am partial to both tiger bread and french bread on occasion :shh: ) and things like cakes ( dont have often) and potato but I thought my high fibre low sugar cereals would be okish..... but :( to my fave porridge........ malted wheats not tooooooooo bad but I do need to be very very careful with portion control. took to counting carbs of some ready meals as well as home made ones chicken hot pot and yoghurt at 90G hardly budged the BS yet a 60G meal of fish pie with fresh pineapple to follow sent me up to 12.8 :shock: :shock: :shock: ( I am supposed to be prediabetic !!!!!!!!!!!!) I think the answer was that althogh the carb count was lower there was a higher proportion of potato on the fish pie...... and it was mashed ( I think I have read somewhere that mashed is the worst form of pots for elevating BG ???) anyone else find it not just a straight carb count ???? I was shocked when even a very innocent looking fish pie [/QUOTE]
