[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 480867"] You are far from stupid Sarah, you have a chronic condition that relies on your management. Health care professionals see you from time to time but you are with it 24/7. Liken it to learning to drive a car. Your first lesson will not make you a proficient driver. By adding the other food groups to the carbs then you lessen the spike. If the spike is still too high then you have to reduce the carbs. Say for example you ate a normal portion of rice, pasta, bread, cereals and added all the other food group and you got a spike, (more than 2 points than your previous meal), you could then try eating a half of the amount of carbs. If this didn't work then you could try a third and if that still didn't work then that food would not be suitable for you. We are individuals and have different responses to different carbs. All carbs on their own, as in the toast, will raise your blood sugars. [/QUOTE]
