Re: Unsweetened applesauce

[Guest guest]

This is so true. I can tolerate a small apple if my bgs are ok

because of the fiber but I wouldn't even look at applesauce,

sweetened or not

It really is amazing (not to mention UTTERLY FRUSTRATING!)

just how much " YMMV " in any given case, isn't it? I can eat most

fruits (bananas and pineapple being exceptions) without too

much trouble. This is even true of some of the supposedly

higher-glycemic fruits/melons such as cantelope. I barely get a

BG nudge out of nothing but cantelope. I also do very well with

citrus fruits and apples and berries (not so well with

strawberries as I am with blueberries or blackberries).

GRRR! Makes me wanna yank out my hair

--------------------------------

May I suggest fried apples instead? Just melt a little

butter into a

pan, core and slice the apple, do not peel, sprinkle with

cinnamon (or

other seasonings to taste), some artificial sweetener and

cook to

desired consistency. But not too soft, you don't want to

destroy all

the fiber. You can omit the butter and just steam the

apple.

Ok, what the heck is " YMMV " ?
