[QUOTE="EllisB, post: 383112, member: 66472"] The key word when it comes to diet is [b]balanced[/b]. Bananas are often singled out by diabetics, but the portion size may be as much to blame as their composition (isn't it ever!). Many of the bananas we get in supermarkets are too big. Your carbs should be spread out throughout the day. If you have a protein-rich breakfast with little carb content, followed by a salad for lunch, a banana for an afternoon snack will put a big kick of carbs into a body with a low insulin level (low BG=low insulin production). In many T2s it takes time for the pancreas to produce enough insulin so this will result in a noticeable spike in BG. One word of caution : you are on a statin, so grapefruit are definitely off the menu! [/QUOTE]
