[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1217215, member: 41816"] This is where testing is soooooo important, because self testing has proven that most of what you say above is not true for me. Chocolate doesn't spike me (especially good quality, dark, high cocoa solids choc) Fruit and cereal both spike me worse than potato or even the same g of carbs from table sugar. Whole grains release their carb load only about 5 mins after non whole grains, so I have to avoid even 'brown carbs' I can however tolerate a small portion of berries, if they are eaten with cream. So, while I happily accept that if you test those theories[B][I] on yourself[/I][/B] [USER=90386]@drakman[/USER] that you have found they hold true[B][I] for you.[/I][/B] They do [B][I]not[/I][/B] hold true for me. - which is why we should all be testing, to find out how things work for each of us. HbA1cs simply don't give us enough detail [/QUOTE]
