| Something about baking bananas -- or perhaps what I do in the process -- seems to slow down the carbohydrate release. The other day, I made banana muffins. Carbohydrates included: 5 U banana, 12 U rice syrup and turbinado sugar, and 7 U whole-grain flour.
I normally cover bananas and sweeteners with lispro, and whole-grain flour with insulin; I "should have" needed 70% lispro and 30% insulin to cover the muffins. Yet the correct mix ended up 75% insulin + 25% lispro.
Of course, I included a little vinegar and some flax meal... perhaps those helped slow the glucose release...
