HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL

EAT SWEETS, KEEP PILLS HANDY!

I discovered today, eating any fried item or sweets made from legumes flour i.e. daal flour (like besan, math) keep PPBS levels under control...like <140 after 1 hr and <120 after 2 hr. So just eat sweets and enjoy....

Really Ashka9 the mixed messages you send out are not the least bit helpful. You swing between recommending high fat one day, then when the wind changes, high sugar.

Enjoy sweets as a diabetic and just take your pills - come on!

Relax, I am just telling everybody to enjoy sweets in Diwali...we can enjoy it once in a while....nothing wrong I ate 2 pieces today of sweets and measured my PPBS after 1 hr...it was 138 and after 2 hours of eating fried items made of besan and math, it was 114! Sugar doesn't have high GI load...it won't affect yr BS levels as do grains even....I take sugar everyday in coffee because I don't believe in taking sugar free ...

Good, you are enjoying Diwali...being diabetic doesn't mean we can't taste sweets once in a while...what is karanji?

U didn't wish me, anyway?

where do u get black rice? online? how do u find it's taste?

@anup

Thanks, Anup for yr wishes..yes, my new year resolution would be to eat as little amount of grains as possible...by going LC route....will try to heal pancreas and liver too!

[Ashka9]

@anup

ok Boss! I will do as you direct! Not eating 6-10 times a day...just 3-4 times...a day!

But yes, when I plan to start IF, I will skip dinner...that's more convenient to me....so how many hours gap should be there between breakfast and lunch and how frequently I have to do that?

Great

Happy Diwali

Make besan laadoo with ghee and stevia and enjoy

Shashikantiyengar, would FOS "sugar" be suitable please ? FOS tastes good, just like icing sugar.

[Hidden in reply to zube-UK]

FOS is fructooligosacchrides a prebiotic

Not absorbed in stomach or intestine but absorbed by good bacteria in colon

I take a brand called Sweetherb or fosstevia which is a combination of stevia and FOS

[zube-UK in reply to Hidden]

Thank you again, this is so helpful, I did not know about Sweetherb or fosstevia and will see if I can get them here in UK.

[Hidden in reply to zube-UK]

These are available in India

You have to search for local brands in UK

Appears it spikes less

By the way I ate sweets made from besan only...and it gave PPBS after 1 hour 138...

[Hidden in reply to Ashka9]

Great

Happy Diwali to all. When ever I feel taking sweets , I take laddu prepared from Til. It does not spike bs, as other sweet dishes spike. Besan laddu is also good. I have tested many times. This is my own observation and suits me well.

Happy Diwali @ Ashka9 and all members of this forum.

You brought good news , definitely I am going to have sweets made from besan,

Thanks
