[quote=Anonymous]Like one of the prior posters, oatmeal (even the unsweetened, slow cooked, etc. kind) spiked my blood sugar like crazy so I cut oatmeal to once a month, maybe twice in the coldest winter months; no granola bars (used to keep in my purse and eat more frequently than I'd like to admit); ice cream only once or twice a month.

I try to pair fruits or sweet snacks with a protein; so, fat free Greek Yogurt with a dollop of jam; apple with peanut butter; cheese & crackers; etc.

Either make open face sandwiches with lower carb bread or use rice cakes (have not tried sprouted stuff like Ezekiel's)

Try in general to amp up flavors on the carbs I eat (potatoes, sparingly; rice or pilaf; etc.) with my own seasonings, herbs, pepper, etc. rather than relying on overly-processed ready-made boxed stuff full of artificial flavorings

Good luck! I will say, I do believe the people who say their tastebuds adapt and no longer crave as many sweets when they commit to this kind of dietary change and the A1C will go down!![/quote]
