Hi
Got one for Xmas. Tried a recipe in the diabetes section and 2 hours later glucose was higher than usual.
Just thinking about it, I suspect that turning food to 'mush' will result in more rapid absorption of nutrients and render low GI foods high GI. Am I right?
 
I would assume that's right-I'm recently diagnosed but I have been reading a lot of recipe books, probably being over zealous lol. New potatoes and whole potatoes are better than mash so that would be a continuation, plus it just makes basic scientific sense - mash or purée would have a larger surface area for the same weight and therefore absorption would be quicker. I'm no expert but I think you are probably right.
