[QUOTE="serenity648, post: 1543626"] When you start testing before and 2 hours after meals you will find out how many carbs your body can cope with, and what sorts. For example (this is just my own personal experience) I can eat fresh tomatoes for vitamin C, but any other fruit spikes my blood sugars. I cant seem to tolerate rice or pasta, in any quantity, brown or white. I can have a small amount of potato (vitamin C again) and a couple of slices of homemade wholemeal bread a day. Your reaction to things may well be different, so testing and recording the results, along with the type and quantity of carb you have had with a meal, is a valuable exercise to find your personal threshold.
