Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 thank you. I'm in trinidad and tobago in the sunny Caribbean. a part of the world where carbs is a great part of our diet. a part of the world where it's really expensive to eat healthy. but to do it we got to do it. so i'm trying really hard. My wife is really frustrated by the challenges posed by''' as she calls it " this sugar thing. " she seems to think that whole wheat flour is a replacement for white flour. no matter how much i tell her that it might just be a source of less starch. but i'm trying really hard. Have''' a nice day. and stay away from girls who serve French champagne! advice for Tom > Hi Tom. > > A good sugar is 80 before a meal and after eating the meal, you check your blood sugar 2 hours past eating it and it should be 120 or less.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Have her read the carb gram count per serving on the packages. Maybe she will come to believe that carbs are carbs. Sea food, vegetables and nuts along with lots of salads is the key to good glucose control. All fruits are high in carbs no matter whether they are whole fruits are fruit juices. advice for Tom > > > > Hi Tom. > > > > A good sugar is 80 before a meal and after eating the meal, you check your > blood sugar 2 hours past eating it and it should be 120 or less.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hmmm. I know nothing about health insurance in your part of the world. Does your government provide health insurance at all?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 sounds like you have a good understanding of what foods to avoid. Yes, it can be more expensive to eat lower carb foods but what a benefit... you can live a longer life *smile*.
