Not causing trouble ;-)

[Guest guest]

First, you are not causong trouble :-) You are trying to understand, which

is a good thing. Every diabetic is different. That is a critical point. We

all use our carbs differently. Like the GI. It is a good starting place, but

we each need to fine tune it for our own bodies. Okay?

OK, on this porkettes receipes which has 27 carbs per serving that would

raise my blood sugar 135 points. For me, each carb raises my suagr 5 points;

for others it could be 3 points. Since my sugars usually are around 120, then

this meal would take me to approximately 235 which I consider dangerously

high.

I am not sure if it gives anyone else a hit like this. Is this a 2 hour

after eating test? How are your A1c's? This tells you what you have done as

an

average in the last 3 months. Mine are always in the good area and my dr is

thrilled. If I was getting bad A1c's you bet, I would be tightening down the

diet, by less carbs especially at each meal.

Again, maybe I am the only diabetic who is affected this way. Sure would

like to hear from others.

So would I, this is an important learning area here!!

Thanks and I don't mean to cause trouble - just trying to understand how

other diabetics can eat foods like this.

Don't ever feel bad for trying to understand. That is why we are all here,

to share and to learn! Hugs, Marilyn
