When eating a 'low carb' diet, can the carbs that fall into the low GI category be counted? Do we follow the glycemic index at all or should we just be NO carbs?
I've never managed to understand and learn the GI stuff.
I find it easier to learn where the carbs are and cut right down on carbs.
Eat meat, fish, dairy, eggs, nuts, olives, green veg and a few berries.
Simple one word food bought in its raw state so as little processed stuff as possible
Granola, sweet potato chips and beer are all processed
I’d agree with some of the others, it’s far easier just to look at total carbs. For me the fewer the better as my body seems to be highly sensitive to any carbs.Hello,
I am recently diagnosed T2 with a current HbA1C of 48. I exercise heavily and don't need to lose weight. I am confused about some foods and drinks and have a few questions.
Where do these foods fall in the glycemic index (high, medium, low)?

- granola
- sweet potato chips (I've read separate articles, one says high, the other low!)
- Alcohol-free beer - is there any difference for diabetics to normal beer?
Thanks in advance.
