Re: Just don't have any ideas re what to eat and what not to eat!

Hi there Ken,

Well, 30 carbs are 30 carbs. That much is true - but - now comes the

crunchers.

The brown breat is not made with white flour and will give you a slower

sugar release. The yummy cake will give you a real quick shot because it

also has white sugar and white flour.

Pay attention to " total carbs " and not " net carbs " .

I don't know about Canada but, in the U.S. there are no standards for

what constitutes " Net Carbs " .

Now that I have really muddied the water Pat, or Harry can hop in

and unsnarl my mess.

Just don't have any ideas re what to eat and

what not to eat!

I am a relatively new type 2 diabetic. I am getting used to what to eat

with one acception and that is how do I differencia between 30 carbs of

say 2 pieces of brown bread, and that of say, 30 carbs of chocolate? I

mean I don't understand how the chocolate can differ to that of bread

....after all, they're both only 30 carbs each right? I suspect that

the chocolate is sugar loaded and the bread is not loaded with this

direct sugar gotten from the choclate! I thought that if I watched only

my carbs in general, I'd be alright but now as I said, suspect that the

direct sugar is much more dangerous than the bread example. Cy, or

anone else please comment on my delema...would appreciate it a lot. Ken

A fellow member of this list serve has compiled a carb guide, and I will be

glad to send you a copy of it via an email attachment if you wish. There

are different kinds of carbohydrates. There are naturally occurring ones

and refined ones. The refined carbohydrates get into the blood system much

faster than those that are " natural " . Thus refined carbohydrates cause the

glucose levels in the blood stream to spike, rise rapidly and high, whereas

carbohydrates that are natural cause a slower absorption into the blood

stream causing less of a rapid rise in the glucose level and a more gradual

spike.

The diabetic only needs to know that insulin only works on carbohydrates no

matter whether they are natural or refined. The body converts all

carbohydrates into glucose, the simplest type of carbohydrate.

The diabetic should avoid all refined carbohydrates or use them as sparingly

as possible. Refined carbohydrates include:

sugar, flour and any products made with it, corn meal, fruit juices, and any

thing white like potatoes and milk. Refined carbohydrates are poison for

the diabetic.

The diabetic should eat only whole dgrains, meats, cheeses, nuts and

vegetables for the most part. These items make excellent salads, and it

would be wise for a diabetic to have two or more salads per day.

Insulin does not work on protein or fat.
