[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2243930, member: 401801"] Hello [USER=521938]@MariaClara[/USER] , Practically all carbohydrates turn to glucose once ingested. That's obvious sugars, but also potatoes, bread, pasta, fruit and many, many other food items... Cut the carbs, and blood sugars will drop. Hence [USER=460785]@xfieldok[/USER] 's question.
