    10.6 (190).

    A question for the universe. If you eat only veggies, with perhaps a bit of protein, as suggested by the pancreas team, would this lower you blood sugar? After all, veggies have lots of carbs as well.

    I think it depends on what veggies. Some veggies have a high glycemic index, such as white potatoes or corn.

    i would bet it would, depending on your veggies though. Veggies have carbohydrates, fiber, some protein and sugar. as long as you keep your carb number reasonably low it might be a boring diet though but that is my opinion i like my processed grains and know that they are not always the best choice. lower glycemic index foods generally lead to lower bg levels and non starchy veggies tend to have lower GI numbers. the-gi-diet.org/lowgifoods/ has a list of many foods and their GI index numbers.

    Veggies have lots of fiber in them even if they have carbs...it prevents/slows the blood sugar spikes. Even if I have a ton of veggies my blood sugar is never as high as if I eat bread or pasta or cookies...even if the carb count is the same. Different effect.

    I finally got my computer back after dying last week. I tried to post from my phone, but the forums wouldn't post. So, today was 108 and I'm glad to be able to post again. Happy Halloween all :)

    Sweating when I woke up...I ran 6K last night at 10pm. I ate a huge apple and some Icelandic plain yogurt for snack at 11pm when I came home. Thank heavens I did!

    11.6 (208.8). Between not sleeping, stress, and eating junk, it's not higher. No, the next five days will be clear fluids, 1 coffee with milk, and Glucerna.

    is that doctor's orders? either way that sounds like a horrid diet. I would be chewing through the leather restraints :)

    125 (6.94) chips/crisps are addictive.
