[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2174557, member: 196898"] We know that some bgl meters have a sensitvity to Malitol and Sorbitol. and indeed the ISO tests were upgraded to include a specific test for these contaminants As regards the sugars Maltose etc I have only anecdotal evidence. I am partial to the occasional faggot in my time and the ones purchased from the butcher do me fine. But I did try some frozen ones from the supermarket that my parents used to feed me on, and these spiked me unexpectedly and quite severely. It is only a naked beefburger in gravy after all, so where did the sugar come from. The listed carbs content was reasonable considering it is a meat based product, and there was no sugar declared. Investigations with the manufacturer revealed that they do not need to declare Maltose either as a carbohydrate or a sugar on the contents listing since according to current advice, it is not metabolised, so should have no effecr. But it does on me! I have repeated this experiment and repeated the high bgl results so it is not a misread. And I know dextrose wass used to treat hypos in my mothers day so it must be partially absorbed at least. But its cousin fructose is not metabolised like a carb, It makes sense evolutionaily that fructose gets put down as lipid fat directly, Fruit is seasonal and comes before winter, so it makes sense for our bodies to pur it into long term storage in the adipocytes for later use. Lipid fat is a more efficient way of storing energy. I liken it as such. An open hearth fire uses kindling and paper for a quick burst of energy, but is soon burns out.. For long term heat output we use coal or anthracite. In between there are heat logs that are made of paper but burn like coal. So fructose is the food equivalent of heat logs. [/QUOTE]
