[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2308508, member: 41816"] The same page also says this (see quote in italics below), which is a fair explanation and allows everyone to make their own decisions, according to their own type of diabetes, carb tolerances, health issues and so on. I think it provides enough info to allow people to make up their own minds (although maybe the saturated fat comment is a bit outdated): [I]Some people may be comfortable completely ruling these foods[/I] (white carbs) [I]out of their diet whereas others may want to occasionally include some of these foods every now and again. The key is to be able to pick a sensible limit and be able to stick to it. Many people also suggest staying away from so-called [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetic-food.html']Diabetic Food[/URL].

One tried and tested method is to try different foods and meals by testing your blood sugar before eating (taking any medication as you usually would) and then testing your blood at two hour intervals. A blood test before eating, 2 hours after and 4 hours after will be a good test for most meals, however, some low GI foods (such as whole meal pasta) may need a test 6 hours after to see the effect of the food.[/I] [/QUOTE]
