Re: What can I eat? actually pat, talking to diabetics, if you can keep your a1c between 5.0 to 5.5 eat as many carbs as you want.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Pat, One of the greatest problems I have observed is the enormous amount of mis-information abounding from folks who are NOT Diabetic. When you combine this with the misleading information on the product content blurb on packages counting carbs becomes a real challenge. Poor Crystal is an outstanding example of half reading information on the packages. She will spot something which claims only 7 carbs per serving and get all excited until we take a close look and find that, indeed, 1/4 cup of the product does contain only 7 net carbs. Now, when you investigate further you find that a normal serving actually contained 40 total carbs. The very best example of this is still the chocolate cake mix which, in 28 point type, proclaimed only 7 net carbs but when you looked at the side panel you discovered that a very small slice of cake contained 35 total carbs. (It would have taken 3 or 4 of the small slices to make a real slice) You were probably looking at just over 100 or so carbs per real serving. I have just sent a web site which sets a goal of a 1C of 7 for Diabetics, another piece of mis information which will cause numerous folks to put themselves in jeopardy long term. Just keep up the good works folks, we will eventually win this war. Cy, the Ancient One...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 , Try some olives stuffed with Jalapeno peppers - awesome!!! Crystal has learned to like pork skins. Pace mild salsa goes a long way if you just dip the skin in it. Crystal is a complete woos (wimp, panty waist, softie or whatever name you refer to someone who thinks Sloppy Joe mix is extra hot) When it comes to nice, warm Jalapenos sliced on a burger. They really give a little zip to the project. In case you want something a little warmer try Habaneras, they are really good. Now my friend , how did you calculate the 30 carbs for the Cheerios, skim milk and splenda and, as for that " small " potato it sure must be a teenie weenit thing to only have 15 carbs! Hmm? I nailed Crystal this morning on her Cheerios. She tried to tell me that a serving only had 8 carbs and I told her that it was snowing outside. A serving of Cheerios has 22 carbs. One of Crystal's major problems is that she is Dyslexic and sometimes jumbles the numbers and letters. On the other hand, I sometimes think it is " Selective Dyslexia " . (very large, cheesy smile) Cy, the curious Ancient One...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 lol. to funny Cy. BTW regular cherios actually have 11 carbs in a serving/3/4 of a cup. that is, on my box. My milk, skim milk, is 12 grams per serving 1 cup. So, I round up to 30 since that meal is / has a 30 gram effect on my sugar even though it is under 30 grams per say. oh BTW honey nut cherios, in a serving, has 24 carbs.
