what does your body do about carbs??

[Guest guest]

Because many diabetics are unable to understand the individual carb issues, I

thought I may as well send this out once again, in hopes a new wording might

be a light bulb moment! :-) Love to all, Marilyn

As has been reported here MANY TIMES, this is not a biblical verse! I can eat

enough carrots at one sitting to be ENOUGH carrots, and my next pre-meal Bg

is still in normal range or lower.....I can eat almost every pasta dish in a

quantity to fill me up--a cup to 2 cups-- has little effect on my Bg....but the

next guy will go over the top....Just remember you each must test for each

food.....

Yup, yup, yup! I know it drives people crazy trying to figure it out, but it

is TRUE!!! You are individuals!!!Your best bet is to test ALOT until you

know what spikes for you! I am sure we would all spike on candy or something

like that, but rice, potatoes, breads, pastas all need to be tested. You can

learn what your body likes and tollerates. Keep a journal, write down exactly

what you ate and what your BG's did 2 hours later. For this to be effective,

you must also test BEFORE you eat so you see exactly what it did to you!

Thanks for saying it again! Hugs, Marilyn
