How many you eat depends whether you believe discredited 1970s research about cholesterol or not.Toast - the whole bread thing depends upon which side of the carb fence you're on.  Fruit - I suggest you let your meter be your guide. Blueberries and blackberries spike me, strawberries don't. The GI index website might be useful <a href="http://www.glycemicindex.com" target="_blank">www.glycemicindex.com</a>Veg - Check on your meter, you'll most likely find that root veg spike you. Again the GI index can be helpful on that.Fried fish - you could try breading them with ground sesame seeds if no-one in your family has a nut allergy. Wine - depends on your drugs firstly. People aren't encouraged to drink when on Metformin for example. but often ignore that. Red wine will send your BG down but only while your liver is ealing with the toxin, ethanol. Red wine isn't carby though so you could slosh it in coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon.</blockquote>
