When my brother, who is a diabetic, had surgery on a badly infected
big toe, was given a velcro fastened open toe shoe to wear. In winter
with snow on the ground his foot was always cold. Then he found out
about "louiesbooties" and he got one. His foot was kept warm and he
was so happy! I’m glad someone figured out a way for those who have
had surgery, or have sores on their feet to keep feet warm and dry!

Are you new here? I don’t remember you posting before.

I am new to Diabetes and stumbled onto her book. I have since found
that there is some controversy over this GI diet. What is the general
consensus of the ADA? What is the general consensus of the users here?
What are the downsides to using this diet? Any information would be
appreciated.
For myself, I was a 19 year diabetic then got a double organ
(kidney/pancreas) transplant. 7 years later my pancreas died of chronic
rejection. I am now back to being a diabetic.

i have sworn by the glycemic index diet for the past 17 yrs….. long before
it became ‘fashionable’………… i’ve been told by my nutritionist that
the glycemic index is ‘hog wash’
but it works for me….. the glycemic load is the other 1/2 of the glycemic
index
go to http://www.mendosa.com for David’s complete rundown of how it works and and
importable file of the various GI’s of different foods
good luck!

My take on the situation:
1. I use the G.I. index and Glycemic loads all the time, the concept
works very well for me.
2. A bit of gallows humor. . .some low G.I. foods are actually slower
than my Humalog insulin. My bG sometimes goes DOWN after a low G.I. meal.
3. The problem with G.I. and Glycemic Load and even insulin therapy (the
800-lb gorilla of bG control) is that any diabetic can always overpower any
G.I. technique or any Glycemic Load technique or any Diabetic therapy, even
ultra-fast insulin, by over-eating.
Therefore, anybody can point to such a result and . . . ."prove". . . .
that these techniques don’t work. Get 1000 over-eaters together, and
you have a "correlation."

Now funny thing with me, again, YMMV
the only time I have problems with not being able
to shoot exactly to the amount of carbs I eat is
when my resistance is a bit higher then it should be.
last night for example, was a good night (which lately
many have been)
had 8oz of prime rib
1/2cup of diced potatoes (baked in with prime rib)
carrots, onions and garlic
green beans with cream of mushroom sauce
2 small slices of sour dough bread w/butter
diet coke
— guestimate dinner was close to 80gm with the
amount of potatoes I had.
for desert, lol a snickers big bar (32gm)
I shot 10.5u for dinner and the snickers bar.
2hr – 114
3hr – 98
4hr – 103
my fasting was 107
I don’t eat low GI foods, I’ve always had a semi balanced
diet all my life… heh and last night I went overboard with
the potatoes too.
