Guys,
Just a quick note, but this evening I did a little experiment. In the past I could not eat whole wheat pasta without a serious spike. One of my favorite dishes is diced chicken breast, sauteed in olive oil with garlic and oregano over pasta. The last time I tried it with whole wheat pasta 3 years ago my blood sugars were 240 mg/dL or 13.3 mmol/L and today I had the same dish and my numbers were 109 mg/dL or 6.1 mmol/L. The readings were taken 2 hours after each meal. I estimate the meal had about 55 g. of carbs. The interesting thing is that I was on Metformin 3 years ago and now I am off my meds.
I do not mean to be boasting, but I was too excited and needed to tell someone !!!! I do know I still need to be careful, but it is a a step in the correct direction. To be honest I am now much better at portion control.
