for Cornflakes It shows Glycemic index 93. it means cornflakes is not a good breakfast for diebetic people? I was taking it as breakfast, thinking it is good.
Please remember : any food containing carbohydrates is bad for Diabetics. One should under stand that the food made from grains is normally contains carbs. Keep it 20% of your total food, no carbs is best solution. I would say people beyond 50, should slowly reduce carbs in their total food. Reasonable quantity of fat and proteins may be increased. I take salad, curds, vegetables all except potato, peanuts, cheese, Once in a week 2 eggs or little chicken or paneer 100 gms . My observation that you maintain 120 BS both Fasting and PP with this diet. Those who can follow do share their readings on this forum.
That's right. Cornflakes is not at all good for diabetics!!
Is there any packed breakfast item which is ok for diabetics? Most of them seem to have high GI. Also, how come GI is the same for whole wheat and white bread?? People often say whole wheat bread is better than white?
Apple and orange, both are fine with a GI of 40. Grapes with 60 is ok I reckon?? anything above 60 becomes bad.
are bran flakes good for diabetes
Ty Concerned. So, does that mean roti from atta and maida have the same GI?
