[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 2108516, member: 468755"] Hi Evie-D what was the meal? Did you know the order you eat a meal can effect how much it raises you bg levels. Example: Cajun fried butter chicken with avocado, broccoli and toasted almonds. Eat the avocado first, then the chicken and nuts and finally the broccoli. This way your eating the fat followed by the protein and finally the carbohydrates. The idea is you are taking longer to digest the carbs this way which means less of a spike in bg levels. Try cooking the same meal and eating it this way to see if it can reduce the glucose spike. ;) :bag: [/QUOTE]
