Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2726095">Some people digest pulses such as lentils and chickpeas which means our bodies breakdown the carbs from them.However, other people find the pulses "pass straight through" so we need to take little or no insulin for them.Unfortunately, there is no way to tell what type of digestive system we have without some trial and error. It sounds as if your daughter has more of the "pass through qualities" when it comes to pulses. It is a shame your team were not able to explain this to you - it was explained on my DAFNE course - but I guess there is so much information to impart and consume that some needs to be de-prioritised (albeit some times unintentionally).</blockquote>
