If you don't know, you have to ask!I'm due my hba1c in may so no testing for danger foods just yet. Thought I could pick people's brains about theirs but I should have known that we all have different IR levels and it's not that straight forward. I feel foolish for asking now.
That is me!Not really there aren't any stupid questions.. just questions..I think you'll find that even non diabetic would spike with pasta followed by choc dessert so don't fret too much. The best way of checking is to do a home OGTT with the Rapilose liquid drink because then you know exactly how many carbs you are taking in and with some measurements you'll see how your body reacts. Better than risking it all with carb heavy food.
Brilliant and just what I was looking for thanks.Here is Dr Bernstein's list of foods he does not recommend to anyone seeking to control their bg:

There is a GI index!
There is an insulin index!
It all depends on what you are looking for.
Going low carb, will lower or slow down digestion, so you won't spike.
Finding which foods produce more insulin in your first insulin response, because you need to, will help with glucose levels.
However, depending on how your insulin resistance is, depends on how much insulin is produced. Chicken, for instance, will give you a higher initial insulin response if your insulin resistance is high, but not as much, if you have normal insulin levels.
Chicken is still better than any starchy or other carbs!
If you keep a food diary you could track how your blood glucose levels can lower in time from the same meal, if the portion size is the same. It is important to see the trend happening when you keep track of how you are coping with low carb.
Hope that helps.
Where can i find a good list of insulin index?
