[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 954756, member: 43498"] A low GI approach can be good because your body processes low GI food more slowly, so your blood sugar level doesn't increase then crash so rapidly after meals. But all carbohydrates (including those in low GI foods) will still cause blood sugar to rise. So most of us find that reducing carbs keeps our blood sugars at a safe level. I'm talking about bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, cereals and porridge. With self-testing using a meter you may find your can eat small amounts of some of these so you will have to wait and see. A few more days of eating moderate carbs is not going to do any harm, while you do some reading and thinking. [/QUOTE]
