On some of the diabetic recipie lists, people keep posting dishes full of

pasta, rice, potatoes, and the like.

Hi Bruce,

This is not a diabetic recipe list. Also, we do not tell people what to eat

and what not to eat. It is up to each individual to find out what works for

them. Just because someone can't eat potoatoes does not mean that the ones of

us that can, have to give them up.

Of course it isn't; that's why I didn't give specific examples.

What a drag to hear that news.....But thanks for the info.

I truly appreciate it, especially as a newbie.

Many people find that potatoes raise the BG and keep it up to an extent

quite out of proportion to the mathematical amount of carbohydrates; I

would guess that it was the potatoes in combination with the cookies

that sent you off.

An why would the glucose hang around so long?

Just wanted to touch on this part of the question........it can " hang around "

because when you sleep your body isn't very active in order to burn off the

excess glucose in your system!

Not to mention 8 cookies is a bit much for a snack, a typical serving

(depending on what cookies you had) is only 1-3 cookies.....so you had anywhere

from

2½ to 8 servings!!! Thats a lot of glucose to dump into your system when you

aren't going to be very active for the next 5-8 hours! If you are going to

have such a snack have it and go for a walk or workout within the next 2 hours

to help burn it off!
