Well, they are interesting, but all of my calculations are based on real carbs.  It&#8217;s not perfect, but we all use the same calculations based on real carbs.  Sure wish they would list both or quit playing games.  I usually add a unit or two if I can&#8217;t get real carbs out of them.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of carb is an issue too.  Eating something that is pure sugar, like the gummy bear snack this afternoon produces a huge spike, usually both a high and a low.<\/p>\n<p>What you try to do, is match your food to the insulin peak.  If your food releases sugar into the blood stream to fast, you get a sugar high &#8212; literally, and then end up going low.  Especially if you correct for it.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing protein and sugar is always good, tossing a bit of fat in slows things down too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diabetic-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3432\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kweaver.org\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
