Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Stasia, Thanks for the help. I was wondering with diabetes, what is it exactly that needs to be controlled? Is it the carbs or the sugars or what? Why do some sites tell me that it's okay to eat white potatoes, white bread, and white rice?? Why do I need to limit my fruit to 3 per day?? I'm really confused. Jill > > BFL meals are perfect for diabetes. Choose your carbs wisely and > avoid all white carbs. Go for the no sugar added yogurts.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi Jill, I know you asked Stasia this question, but my understanding of what happens - i.e. how my doctors have explained it to me - is that, in the process of digesting our food, every carb we eat gets converted into glucose molecules. The only difference between the different types of carbs - i.e. " simple " carbs (such as the white carbs Stasia mentions, and sugar, honey, fruit, or anything else which obviously tastes sweet) versus " complex " carbs (such as wholemeal breads and grains, brown rice, lentils, etc) is the SPEED in which this glucose enters the bloodstream - ready to be taken up by the muscles as energy. Therefore, if you eat a lot of simple carbohydrates, the glucose from these foods enters the blood stream really quickly. In a non- diabetic, the pancreas kicks in automatically to 'match' this quickly-rising blood sugar level, with an equally-quickly-rising dose of insulin! (This is the 'insulin spike' that non-diabetics experience after eating sugary foods/simple carbs.) Therefore, a diabetic wants to avoid sugary/simple carbohydrate foods as much as possible because it is much harder to control a fast increase in blood sugar levels, than it is to control a slower, more gradual increase (since we have to control these increases 'artificially' via either diet, exercise, or insulin injection). Ideally you should stick to complex carbs and stay away from simple carbs. Katrina. > > > Stasia, Thanks for the help. I was wondering with diabetes, what > is it exactly that needs to be controlled?
