[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1592087, member: 94045"] Cheese and onion, or cheese and onion crisps? It isn't just sugar that matters. Sugar is a carbohydrate, and it is ALL carbs that turn to glucose once inside the system, not just sugar. Diabetics already have too much glucose in the blood stream, so why eat even more of it? The worst foods for raising blood sugars are potatoes, bread, rice, pasta and foods made with flour. I'm afraid if you want to control this disease you need to consider the role of carbs in your diet and seriously reduce them. That test you did frightened you - and was a warning that jacket potatoes need to be off your menu (and crisps). Keep testing before eating and 2 hours later, keep a food diary including portion sizes, record your levels alongside your food, and watch for patterns. The rise from before to after should be no more than 2mmol/l, preferably less. More than 2mmol/l and there were too many carbs in that meal. [/QUOTE]
