[QUOTE="Shellback, post: 1995979, member: 479533"] How about recommended portion sizes? I think the serving size suggestion on the back of a pack of spaghetti is around 100g (Uncooked weight). If I'm honest with myself then in my pre-diabetes days I probably ate portion sizes which were vastly greater than this. So maybe I'm now low carbing............. I find my control more predictable if I eat some carbs and thus stop my body trying to turn protein into glucose. Protein without carbs normally causes a slow but persistent blood glucose rise in the middle of the night for me - although I can see why it works for typre 2s - .Of course bolus timing, accurate carb counting and activity levels all have a big impact. A walk or vacuuming the stairs are two of my go to methods of reducing the post meal spike. [/QUOTE]
