What was a good thought turned out ot be a very dangerous ideea, in teh diabetes world.
Sincec we all process things differently those items that many were considered low on the gkycemic index maintained a higher BG level than previously thought.
For me, I can eat potatoes and rice and it have minimal impact. But eat just two tablespoons of plain beans( home cooked, no sugar or sauce added)..and I need at least 20 units of insulin.

What most diabetics follwo is either the food guide pyramid or the fabulous four.
In any case each diaebtci eventually finds out what elevates their BGs and what doesnt.
heres a trick. Take a fasting BG reading. EAt apiece of frruit. TAke a 30 and 45 and 60 minute blood test> See how much a piece of fruit impacts.
Thenw rite that down in a log book.
