[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 464242, member: 38028"] Both are true. All carbs turn into sugar. However, sugar is an instant hit to your bs, so low sugar means you will avoid a spike. However, the rate at which carbs change to sugar varies, from things like white flour bread, which is nearly instant, to things like burgen soya and linseed, which is slow. Low GI food, is a better option then. It also varies from person to person. Although there may be more carbs overall in Ryvita, I eat it as I know I digest it slowly. Doritos I digest faster, so a bigger rise in my bs. So, avoid sugars is always good initial advice, but then eat lower GI foods if you eat carbs, (I do) but it's more important to test yourself with a meter to get a list of "good" foods you can manage.
