And we all have different levels of insulin resistance. If a person
can't eat a bit of potato then insulin resistance is probably very high.
I personally have reversed my insulin resistance and have for the past
year been able to eat what i want and in what quantities I want. Not
that I do it all the time but its nice to know I can walk into a
restaurant or be at a party and not have to worry about spiking.

Some diabetics can eat a whole potato (depending on insulin resistance
meds, insulin etc), some can't. I don't think we should have to cater
to the lowest possible denominator/ If one potato on a whole dish for 6
people is too much then omit the potato. I would have to presume that
people in here are smart enough to figure out what they can or cannot
tolerate without hoohah. Obviously some fly bys come here from time to
time and post recipes that are almost entirely carb and high at that but
a recipe with a small amount of starch over a goodly amount of serves is
something easily adapted to suit the individual.
