[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2413849, member: 451727"] Hi there, this is not a scientific explanation but low GI foods are said to prevent a person from spiking quickly and the rises are more drawn out, and with the higher GI foods, the spike is quicker. Take your bread for example, white bread may send a person's levels soaring immediately or very quickly but wholemeal bread may take longer to raise glucose levels and over a longer period of time. Essentially though carbs are carbs. Of course many people get on perfectly fine with some carbs and are able to tolerate them but you really need to test, test, test which you are doing. Your figures following your food seem fine to me but if you are not satisfied with the 7s (as you mentioned) then you may want to review some food choices. I do hope you don't see this as critical in any way, but many people choose low/lower carb foods to help manage their diabetes so dependent on what you are looking to achieve it may just be a case of keeping an eye on your numbers. In response to your question to Grant, there is no set limit as such as it depends on what you wish to eat or the approach you are taking. A low carb diet for example is 130 carbs per day or less but that can prove too much for some people so they have fewer, right down to 50 or even lower (keto). x [/QUOTE]
