Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 2050754" data-attributes="member: 355878">when sorting out what to eat using a blood glucose tester I found that legumes - peas and beans, peanuts all increased my levels more than the amount of carbs they contain would suggest.A couple of others have mentioned the same thing - so I suspect that there is a small subset of superdigesters, or some such thing, who get more out of beans that others do.I found that my cholesterol went down when eating lots of meat with fat - thought there is also fish, seafood, eggs and cheese and my ratios were good - compared with the high carb cholesterol lowering diet I was on for almost two years before diagnosis with type two.For me glycaemic index is irrelevant - that super digesting gut again perhaps - if there are carbs, it will find them.</blockquote>
