[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 367335, member: 44622"] You raise an important point that I have been going on about for some time now. Some foodstuffs give surprisingly high blood sugar readings and at first I did not understand as much as I now do. Having looked at some prepared chicken products I found that they are made from mechanically recovered chicken (if you are lucky) and mixed with rusk and made into a sort of cake. This explains how they are consistent in size and shape and how they get the filling into kievs. A question about doner kebabs on this forum recently revealed the fact that lambs don't come in that shape naturally and the whole thing is a meat/rusk mix. The low fat foods often have sugar added to them to give them some taste so there are a lot of products out there which are just flour and sugar. My 18 months using my meter has partly been spent in identifying these foods. I use a gravy product which is made of starch and caramel (flour and sugar). It's never seen a cow. I find the safest way is to buy identifiable foods and prepare them myself. I am not sure how the above translates into the vegetarian world but I have found that if they can make something of just flour and sugar they will do so. [/QUOTE]
