[quote=Anonymous]My husband is diabetic, and wears a CGM device.  What I have noticed is this, because the feedback is ongoing and relatively immediate.  The body does not distinguish between 'good carbs' and 'bad carbs'.  A mango spikes his sugar just as much as a tsp of sugar in the coffee.

Mine was also slowly starting to creep up to unacceptable levels (to me).  So, carbs, even the so-called 'good carbs', in *extreme* moderation.   And by that, I mean 2 tbsp of rice is one serving.  Half a slice of low-carb bread.  You can eat more pulses, legumes, beans, etc., but again, measured amounts.  Sweeter fruits are either to be avoided, or eaten like a small slice or two.  Berries are okay.  Eat healthy proteins, because that will fill you up, and keep you from getting hungry again.  I like to snack a lot, but my snacks are almost all nuts, and those, I eat like I'm a squirrel (one at a time, taking a long time to nibble/savor).  When I'm not really hungry, and just want to eat something, I pop a gum in my mouth.  Mostly takes care of that 'I want my mouth to be occupied' feeling.[/quote]
