When we go for pizza, I usually get 2 slices. I'll eat the topping and only part of the crust. Everybody is different. Your mom could eat pizza then test 2 hours later to see the results. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi Lidia, The only way she'll know about pizza is to try it and then test afterwards. Everybody is different. Some can eat pizza, some can not. I, for one, am one of those who has a big rise in my BG levels after I eat pizza. It's not just the dough that does this for me, but the pizza sauce also. I have found a pizza that I can eat without a big rise. Domino's has a steak and cheese pizza, no red sauce on it. I can usually eat one or two slices of it. My levels still go up a bit, but they don't soar like they would with " regular " pizza. Again, the only way your mom will really know how pizza affects her, would be to test after she eats it. Another thing I forgot to mention... To see how different foods affect me I test about 1 hour after eating. That's usually when I spike. With pizza, however, the spike wouldn't come until about 2 hours later. LiDiA wrote: Hey all I was just wondering my Mom was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and I was wondering if she could eat pizza.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Some places give you the option of whole-wheat crust; also, many places have the option of THIN crust. Both of these are good options. Re: Pizza Question > > > In a message dated 2/13/2006 9:06:28 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 > > Can you share your low carb pizza dough recipe? I'm always looking for new ones to try. > > Sandy Sure! I'm not sure of the source. Crust 1 1/2 cups flax meal -- (Golden works best) 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten 1/4 cup oat bran 3/4 cup warm water 1 package yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon sugar For the dough: mix the yeast in warm water and add the sugar. Let sit for 2 minutes. Add the salt, oil, vital wheat gluten, oat bran, and 1/2 cup of the flax meal. Beat on low speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Slowly add remaining flax meal while turning and kneading with a wooden spoon. The dough will be sticky and you cannot knead it by hand like regular bread dough, but do it with a wooden spoon turning and kneading the dough with the spoon for 5 minutes Preheat oven to 170 and turn off when it is preheated. spray a clean bowl with non-stick spray, place dough in the bowl, spray the dough with non-stick spray, cover and place in the warm oven for an hour. Place a piece of parchment paper on a round pizza pan, top with plastic wrap and press with hands and roll with rolling pin to shape the dough. Remove plastic wrap and add toppings. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spread sauce on top of pizza crust. Top with cheese and other toppings, whatever you choose. Bake with the parchment paper for 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is done. Enjoy! Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Who said she is not allowed?? There are many things to consider. Probably the most important is whether or not it's thin or thick crust. One or two slices of pizza may be fine. One or two pizzas probably won't. How large is she? Body size may indicate how much she can handle. She should see a registered dietitian and get a food plan worked out instead of relying on the opinions of strangers who don't know the specifics of her condition. During the class I attended, the dietitian said, 'as a rule of thumb' with thin crust pizza two slices for women, three slices for men is a 'reasonable' portion. However, each individual is different. Also, sometimes it's a matter of finding the correct medication for a healthy diet rather than cutting food to achieve an A1C reading. Both methods have their merit, but your health care professionals are probably the ones who should be making these decisions. Not consuming enough calories can be as bad as consuming too many.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I can eat pizza with no problem, I took my kids to Pizza Hut the other day and we had the buffet, I had 3 pieces of pizza, and a breadstick, and 2 hours later my blood sugar was 150. Strange thing is, if I eat a cup and a half of Special K Vanilla Almond cereal, then my blood sugar would be 300. Strange how this disease affects us. I don't tell myself that I can't eat something until I have tried it a few times and tested and gotten high numbers. The important thing to do is test, test, test.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Midy...how was your blood sugar 4 hours after, or even 6? Pizza takes a long time to spike most peoplewith some, even 12 hours later it's still causing a rise...it's digested so much differently than most things we eat - you can't really go by your 2 hour reading, ya know? If you're still at 150 or less after 4 or 6 hours or so...that's awesome. Wish I was that lucky! At 2 hours it usually doesn't do much to me - 4 hours I'm up to about 180, 6 hours I'm up in the 200's...than I start coming back down. ;o) Can't remember which magazine I read the article in, but they had a pretty good write up about how pizza is so much different.
