[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1652670, member: 374531"] Hi, [USER=461649]@prakash68[/USER] , I don't think this has anything to do with insulin resistance nor with fat. I can't get the kashi webpage to load, so can't check the carb content. However, chickpeas are very low on the glycemic index: they break down into glucose slowly, and so will sometimes continue drip-feeding glucose into the bloodstream after the meal bolus shot has worn off, leading to a high which will stay high without a correction dose. Or the simpler answer might just be that she didn't bolus enough for the meal in the first place! If she's losing weight, it's because she's not eating enough. I've never really thought about insulin resistance or fat content when choosing foods. I don't think T1s need to. If one ends up too high, it's generally a result of too low a bolus shot, not insulin resistance. Fat will generally slow down absorption of carbs but that is nothing to do with insulin resistance. All it means is that if I have a pizza, I might need to keep an eye on levels a few hours later and do a correction dose if I'm trending high. [/QUOTE]
