Beans tend to be pretty carby, Rob...also I believe the " gravy " has

molasses in it, which is probably a BG raiser too.

Your best bet is to test before eating then test again an hour and 2

hours after eating. Your meter is your best friend here.

The dietitians like beans for diabetics because of the fiber. My

understanding is that canned beans are digested much better than home

cooked beans. Glycemic index is lower for home cooked over canned.

Plus you can control the sugar. So if you want those beans you would

be better off cooking your own.

Hi Dianne

Problem is I'm not too sure that I like cream anymore - I have been using semi

skimmed milk for so long that I find the taste of full cream a bit much.

I'll give it a try and see what happens - if I don't like it I have partner and

3 cats who do so it will not be wasted. Thats a point if I do like it I may not

get any of it anyway with those 4 around.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of this site Dianne it is proving very

helpful.

I went out and bought a book on diabetes called The First Year Type 2 Diabetes

by Gretchen Becker today - is that the Gretchen whose name I see on this site?

Blessed Be

Rob

Rob, if you dilute the cream 50/50 with water you'll have a pretty

skimmy kind of milk.

I must be getting old I never even thought of that and I have done it in the

past as well.

Somebody put me out to pasture, I'm definitely well past the stud stage.

Thanks

Carol and Rob - Do you have the equivalent of half and half there? Full

cream tastes too buttery for me and I find the half and half, with one

carb per ounce, works well.
