There are many websites that list foods and GI. Just Google something like 'low-GI foods'

Hello all.
I would like to say a very big thank you to all that have commented and helped me out on this thread. I have now gone from someone who has out of control irratic BGL's to a person who's BGL's are now more stable. I feel alot better for them being better controlled.
