Here is an article ("8 Low-Carb Veggies for a Diabetes-Friendly Diet", by Regina Boyle Wheeler) talking about the Low-Carb Veggies that would be helpful to a diabetic diet. Please check out the article and slide show. The website is: everydayhealth.com/type-2-d...

If you would like to see the pictures after the slide show is over, click on the "View All" button at the bottom of the screen. It will give you the eight pictures without the video/slide show. I thought it was very interesting and gave me some great ideas for the next get together I have coming up. Plus, the veggies listed can help keep the blood sugars under control very nicely.

Lauki. Hmm. Spikes bs

[raj1461 in reply to suramo]

Suramo ji, Lauki also spikes bs ?, which other veggies also spike bs ?, now lauki bhi nahin khana ?

[shrisamarth Volunteer in reply to raj1461]

Bottle gourd/lauki does not spike. Around 3 gm net carbs /100 gm. No free/simple sugar. I regularly eat lauki.

Halwa, subji etc.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to shrisamarth]

shrisamarth ,

What are the halwa and subji?

[shrisamarth Volunteer in reply to Activity2004]

Sabji is vegetable preparation.

Halwa (grated bottle gourd or carrots)is sweet dish preparation made with ghee and/or khoya (khoya means - most of the moisture is removed from the milk).

Thank you! I plan to check out the link, as well. This will help a lot!

[suramo Star in reply to shrisamarth]

shrisamarth

You are right but now i have to review what i said about lauki. I think i'm wrong about lauki.

[cure Administrator in reply to suramo]

Hmmm well suramo and shrisamarth what we are comparing is just carb contents of Lauki...

But guess what??? for some ppl even raw tomato spikes... may be suramo is right that lauki spiked tro him...

For me even raw tomato spikes...

Guess each individual responds different to different food items... so regular BS check with meter is required...

[suramo Star in reply to Hidden]

That can be made at home. I'm asking if it's very bitter or there is some way of cooking to remove bitterness.

[Hidden in reply to suramo]

Not too bitter

That's why I mentioned that I mix with moong sprouts. Anyway I have now learnt to have bitters

[suramo Star in reply to Hidden]

Thoda jyada ho jata hai. Bitterness 😝😝. Kadwa kha kha k dil o dimag bhi kadwa ho jata hai 😁😁😁

[cure Administrator in reply to suramo]

bhai suramo sprouting fenugreek is same as u sprout moong...

yeah its bitter..... but once u develop taste....u can consume....

we do make 'usal' of sprouted fenugreek....with dried shimps added... ver tasty....

but be careful.... if you are not used to the same.... it will give u headache...(pitta trouble)

[cure Administrator in reply to cure]

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

I can't eat fenugreek seeds. Gi problem. But shrimps ! Kya bro. Gujju ko machhali khilaaoge.

[cure Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Hidden just search local ayurveda shop or shatvari herb.... soak those sticks in water full night....

and consume them as salad... shatavari means asparagus...

However the variety of asparagus which is consumed in western world as vegetable is bit different....

[alwaysoptimistic]

Informative!

Thanks for posting!!

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

You're welcome! I will be looking for a few other things related to food and/or exercise soon.

[cure Administrator]

My experience is tomato do spike many times...

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to cure]

Tomatoes do different things to different people.

[suramo Star in reply to cure]

cure

Yes. Esp puree. Eat whole with skin as salad. Will not spike

[makarim]

Lauki is good. Lauki with little pulse never spikes my sugar. I usually take this without any Chapatti at night. Thanks.

[cure Administrator]

yes... agree but onion never spikes to me...but sure tomato spikes...

each individual has got different reaction to different food items...

[shrisamarth Volunteer in reply to cure]

Lauki is one of the safest vegetable for everyone.

Cooking veg is very simple.

1. Wash every veg you buy fresh.

2. Cut the veg to small pieces to lower cooking time.

3. Put olive oil and butter, small quantity in a small pan, now put the veg in, add any specie you want, wait for the steam to develop, lower the heat, put salt and pepper, cook in a lower het till the veg is cooked.

4. Now you can eat the veg on its own or with rice or what ever you want.

I normally cook a small quantity of any frozen veg and can eat the veg alone with tomatoes and olive oil this is for lunch time. Breakfast microwave porridge. Dinner what ever is cooked.

Give it a try. May be the first time you it get burned, it is OK to eat that veg.
