Hi Alan

I thought you were a T2 like me? Obviously, I was incorrect.

Cinnabon was discussed at length on alt.support.diabetes recently.
I'll repeat myself from a post the

Hi Jennifer et al

They're kidding:

fresh-baked cinnamon roll

Manufactured by Cinnabon
Nutrition Facts
Serving Size 1 roll
Amount Per Serving
Calories 730
Calories from Fat 216T
Total Carbohydrates 114.0g
Dietary Fiber 1.5g
Protein 0.0g

Three rolls in a day would exceed the calories I'd feel safe with and
one roll daily is close to the carbs I'd feel safe with.

Without eating anything else.

The expression "to die for" springs immediately to mind as incredibly
accurate for a type 2 diabetic.


Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.

So you can handle 114 g of carbs a day? I thought I was doing good at 35g
a day. Just looking at a cinnamon bun makes my BG rise.

Some days, not all. Basically, we agree.

I can handle 135 grams of carbs per day. But 114 at one sitting? No
way! I try to keep under 45 grams per meal and I usually do fine.
