Low carb tortillas, bread, etc.

[Guest guest]

I would suggest anyone trying the low carb tortillas, breads, etc, to test

two hours after eating these products.

This past week I had the low carb bread for lunch and my numbers shot up. I

have no problem when I eat home made bread.

Also, had the low carb tortillas. Again, numbers shot up, yet I eat the

regular tortillas almost every Sat. night (Taco night) and get readings between

89-140. Most of the time below 120.

For me, low carb does not always mean low carb.

I agree with you 100%. I tried 2 low carb tortillas, 5

carbs each, with turkey and spinach and a diet soda and

my BGL went from 84 to 181! And that was 4 hours after

I ate and I'd taken 5U Humalog. I almost fainted when

I saw that number. The only LC tortillas that don't make

my BGL rise so far are La Tortilla Factory, but they

remind me of cardboard so I rarely eat them.

Like you I can eat regular corn tortillas with no rise

at all. I hate to say it but most of the LC stuff does

raise my BGL's a lot.

Could it be that your liver reacted to a low after eating a meal with

very low carb count and the humalog? Maybe you had a liver dump

which is what sent you that high.

I usually test every 15 mintues for a few hours when trying a new

food to see where the peak is and what it is - Did you test in

between eating and 4 hours after?
