Talk to a nutritionist. It isn't about sugar -- it is about total carbohydrates and their glycemic index. Your insurance should cover a diabetes course -- and it will be eye-opening. Do it.

Answer 5

google : Glycemic Index and pay attention to the medium to low level foods!

then check each food in your own bod. test, eat the food, wait about 2 hours, test again. Depending on the reading you keep the food in your food plan or delete it.

Journal all of this. I do foods testing everytime my meds change! I do the testing at snack times. A stenographer's note book is a very handy tool for all this journaling.

good luck planning your menus!
