[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad wears a continuous glucose monitor, so it's really enlightening as to what does and does not lead to glucose spikes. Fruit is not an issue -- he does not have to limit fruit. Fruit juice is an automatic spike -- he only has juice if his level is dangerously low. Pizza always leads to a crazy spike. It's way worse that other bread products for some reason. (He can have a sandwich with no problem -- even pasta is not nearly as bad as pizza.) Really irritating because pizza is just such an easy dinner when everyone is tired. There are lots of desserts that actually aren't much of a problem too. Small bowl of vanilla ice cream or a simple flavor is basically fine. Not the crap loaded with candy or fudge. Cakes that are more European in nature are also basically fine in moderation -- American birthday cakes with the crazy frosting are terrible though. (If you've ever made home-made buttercream, it's a really appalling amount of powdered sugar that goes into the frosting!) Whisky is fine. Wine is basically okay in moderation. Pretty much any decent beer is really bad. There's also some things like sauces (BBQ sauce) that really can be dangerous too. But fruit is fine!!! * Note that if you're a obsessive person that's eating like 10 servings of fruit a day via an all-smoothie diet, then that's probably not fine. [/quote] How about smoothie? Or fruit vs smoothie?[/quote]
