NOTE: Christine and I decided to have some fun in the kitchen today to show off the delicious Julian Bakery Smart Carb bread that we have enjoyed consuming as part of our healthy low-carb lifestyle lately with two outstanding recipes in our latest "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb On YouTube" episode:
Still taking my blood sugar readings before every meal and two hours after those meals. At some point this coming up week, I'll probably take readings prior to the meal, at 30 minutes, and then at 60 minutes to see if there is a more stark curve in the blood sugar. Additionally, I've been wanting to test the theory about whether diet soda raises blood sugar levels statistically, so we will be doing an experiment to see that as well coming up this week. THANKS for sharing in this journey!

Jimmy, I think the diet soda test is a great idea. Can't wait to see your conclusions about this.
Jimmy,
You can certainly tell your a southerner. Butter and Dukes mayonnaise. Only way to go. LOL
You know it, Deniece! :)
You're continuing to have great blood glucose readings. Your next ReliOn A1c should be awesome.
well I cant wait to see your diet soda test! I am going to order some of that bread today!! Your french toast looks fantastic.
I have never heard of mayo on a grilled cheese sandwich. We always have put havarti cheese and cheddar on grilled cheese, try it, its really good (and havarti is the Seattlites favorite cheese I think, we didnt even know about it till we moved to WA)
:-)
now I'm hungry.
I am obsessed with insulin and glucose readings. It is just not possible that a sugar-free item can raise insulin levels...or does it raise glucose levels...
Jimmy, its pretty pointless taking a post-prandial BG reading two and a half hours after eating the bread. You wil have missed any spike it might have caused. I suggest you do a PP reading 45 minutes after eating 'low-carb' bread and report on that.
Sorry about that, Kitty. But I had no choice but to measure when I did because I was at church. I left Sunday School a little early to get that reading when I did. Ideally I'd like to measure on time every time, but Sunday mornings are difficult to make that happen. THANKS for your comments!

There's nothing like having your mind made up before looking at any evidence.
Someone needs to look up Cephalic Phase Insulin Response(CPIR) in PubMed. For SOME people even looking at a picture of food can elicit an insulin response. You don't even need to see or smell real food to elicit an insulin response. See Good Calories Bad Calories for a further explanation and cited research.
I agree with JD.
