[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 278159, member: 12578"] An example where someone is trying to say something is better than something which is very bad. So they suggest scones or a plain biscuit are better than chocolate, toffee, fudge, tablet, mints, chocolate covered and cream filled biscuits, marzipan . They do say 'in moderation'. However they obviously haven't looked at the GI. There's only one record of scones on the GI data base. They were made with a packet mix and the GI was 92 (glucose is 100) To be honest I think any normal scones would inevitably be high as they are mostly (white) flour, heated to a high temperature with very little fat. I suspect a cheese scone would be quite a bit lower as would one made with grainy flour or with added bran. Quite honestly though I think that the foods you have pointed out are not good for anyone, on an every day basis, whether they have diabetes or not. Even if these things didn't spike your blood glucose they are all high in calories. It's quite shocking to realise that a 12 inch long Turkey roll may have 820 calories compared with an ordinary turkey sandwich containing about 320; if you ride your bike for 1.5 hours afterwards you might just burn off the extra fuel.
