I find that 100 g of Dreamfields barely nudges my post-prandials if I eat if for dinner, but then I'll have 350 mg/dl the next morning. Ditto sorbitol-sweetened desserts, only even more slowly, sometimes the surge showing up 36 hours later. Deadly stuff. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this--and so much else.Robert Risterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454298937721966525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-7972633963538640682011-02-13T14:47:17.857-05:002011-02-13T14:47:17.857-05:00Great post - thank you!

My own experience with it and CarbQuik, which is made with it, is that it performs as advertised. I use it for waffles ad biscuits. The texture of the result is different enough from the real thing to suggest that they are high protein which would explain the lowered carb count.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-86716094215936820642011-02-09T05:58:05.612-05:002011-02-09T05:58:05.612-05:00Hi Jenny, I guess this would explain the erratic r...Hi Jenny, I guess this would explain the erratic readings at supper after Dreamfeilds with dinner.I don't eat pasta that often but I am surprised I didn't see the connection. I have been using Tova's Carbalose flour for some time with seemingly great results.Is there any research on it that you have seen?William Houserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957532408519914187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-33424285752796129062011-02-08T20:02:35.123-05:002011-02-08T20:02:35.123-05:00Jenny,

There are ...Brenda, That's a very good point.<br /><br />There are some people with Type 2 who are still making insulin slowly, and they won't see a spike at 4 or 5 hours. That is something that was discussed a lot on the old alt.support.diabetes newsgroup and quite a few people tested at longer intervals. <br /><br />But it's also very likely that that the reasons dietitians are so Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-24350266844504197762011-02-08T13:00:58.132-05:002011-02-08T13:00:58.132-05:00"...the carbohydrates contained in pasta tric..."...the carbohydrates contained in pasta trickle into the blood stream for hours after you eat... the trickle might be slow enough that you won't see a pronounced spike"<br /><br />Though I'm wondering if the reason we're not seeing spikes or high postprandial numbers is because we're checking at 1-hour, 90-minutes, 2-hours when the peak comes at 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 Brenda Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687718956610704894noreply@blogger.com
