Excellent,bclintonk.
But “Foods with a high glycemic index…e.g., soda, fruit juice, white potatoes…” Again this is where our own genetics come into play. Being Slavic, going back generations, my mother could eat white potatoes and get no spike. Rice or pasta, otoh, did an immediate job on her numbers.
I know there are diabetics here who’ve amassed a lot of knowledge, what woks or them. But in my own research, It’s hard to find the ADA laying out fixed recommendations/one size fits all. In part, because this can be deadly serious; they want you to get help specific to you and your patterns and responses. They repeatedly suggest getting your own proper dietary advice.
@bclintonk, Thank you for post 73, that was helpful. We rarely eat out, occasionally at Thai restaurants and H usually orders grilled seafood & mixed vegetables. I like curries and I suspect they have a lot of sugar to balance the spice.
@Sybylla, I have not heard of MODY; another topic to research! My friend told me to not spend too much time trying to ‘educate’ the primary care physician, all the effort should go to securing an appointment with an endocrinologist.
The typo at the end was a good nudge, I remember that we have an electric wok in the garage so I can try making some healthy stir fried food without all of the added sugar and oil. We finally have a good Asian market in our area (99 Ranch) so this is an opportunity to finesse my cooking skills and add to our spice collection.
