Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Beans tend to be pretty carby, Rob...also I believe the " gravy " has molasses in it, which is probably a BG raiser too. Your best bet is to test before eating then test again an hour and 2 hours after eating. Your meter is your best friend here.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 The dietitians like beans for diabetics because of the fiber. My understanding is that canned beans are digested much better than home cooked beans. Glycemic index is lower for home cooked over canned. Plus you can control the sugar. So if you want those beans you would be better off cooking your own. > > I like franks, so baked beans, no added sugar, and franks sounds as > > though it could reasonable 1 day and an omelette the next.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hi Dianne Problem is I'm not too sure that I like cream anymore - I have been using semi skimmed milk for so long that I find the taste of full cream a bit much. I'll give it a try and see what happens - if I don't like it I have partner and 3 cats who do so it will not be wasted. Thats a point if I do like it I may not get any of it anyway with those 4 around. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of this site Dianne it is proving very helpful. I went out and bought a book on diabetes called The First Year Type 2 Diabetes by Gretchen Becker today - is that the Gretchen whose name I see on this site? Blessed Be Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Rob, if you dilute the cream 50/50 with water you'll have a pretty skimmy kind of milk.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I must be getting old I never even thought of that and I have done it in the past as well. Somebody put me out to pasture, I'm definitely well past the stud stage. Thanks Rob Re: Question Rob, if you dilute the cream 50/50 with water you'll have a pretty skimmy kind of milk.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Carol and Rob - Do you have the equivalent of half and half there? Full cream tastes too buttery for me and I find the half and half, with one carb per ounce, works well. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
