Food Absorption rates

[bunzorunny]

Hi Everyone,
I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 55 years and not one person has offered any help on food absorption rates. I have tried everything I know, continually asking medical staff to no avail. I would be made up if anyone has come across anything that would help me please? Thanks :crazy: [/size][/size]

Do you mean 'absorption' or do you mean 'digestion'? If the latter, you can find some general info here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion#Human_digestion_process

I would suspect that it's difficult to find the information you are looking for in specific terms as there are so many potential variables both in the person as an individual (height, weight, general health, activity level, etc.) and the food/drink absorbed (fat, protein, carbohydrate, alcohol, etc.).

You can find some general information and see what others are saying about this topic by putting "food absorption rate" or "digestion rate" into Google.

Hope you find your answer.

If you are asking about different foods and absorption times, this graph may help.

You will need to factor in insulin absorption rates as well as this can affect blood glucose.
