Your best bet *always* is to read the nutritional values on the package. Anything that is more than 15 grams of carbohydrates with less than 5 grams of dietary fiber should be carefully considered in your meal plan. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Gluten is a protein, and proteins convert to glucose at a low steady rate -- just what one's looking for if one is trying to control blood glucose through diet and other means. It's carbs that can cause spikes in blood glucose. PP, T2 |

Gluten free?
"Dave G" > wrote in message ... > Does anyone here know if going gluten free can benefit a diabetic? It shouldn't. The only people who need to go gluten free are celiacs and those with a gluten allergy/sensitivity. Some people might mistakenly think that a gluten free diet is automatically lower in carbs. However, if you eat gluten free bread, it is by nature higher in carbs and usually in calories than regular wheat bread. And there is usually less fiber. People on gluten free diets can also tend to eat a lot of things like rice pasta, rice, potatoes and fruit. All of which need to be eaten in controlled portions for diabetics. |
