Hi everyone im trying to get better control of my diabetes and have been recently keeping a list of food that raise and dont raise my sugar levels.

Foods that raise sugar levels are
White Bread/Toast
cheese onion pastie
Fish Fingers
Lucozade

Foods that dont raise or affect my Sugar Levels
Drinks Such as Pepsi coke cola
Baked Beans
Fruit
Ginger biscuit
Dextrose Tablets

been doing this as i realised foods sometimes im boulusing and going hypo then slowly been realising that certain foods dont raise my sugar
is anyone here experiencing similar problem like me regarding foods that dont raise there sugar?.
 
Drinks Such as Pepsi coke cola diet
Baked Beans nope quite carby
Fruit no chance
Ginger biscuit carbs carbs and sugar
Dextrose Tablets just say sugar
iwould recommend carb and calolie counting it gives an excellent idea of portion size and count with less weighting.
 
All of those things raise mine (except fishfingers, I eat those with lots of mayonnaise), most of your “don’t” list are my go-to hypo treatments...

If you've written that list in response to post-bolus hypos, it might be that things like dextrose tablets and biscuits don't seem to be raising your levels but, depending on the amounts you take and the amount of active insulin on board from the last bolus shot, they probably are raising you but at the same time the insulin is lowering, so it seems like they're doing nothing. It would be very surprising if dextrose didn't raise bg, because it's, erm, glucose. Try experimenting with the amounts and consider how much iob there is.
 
If you find that dextrose tablets and full sugar coke don't raise your blood sugar levels that would raise concerns about gastroparesis.
 
I had a list like that. Then, it changes. For some reason, pasta doesn't raise it like rice.
