Hi Homeschoolmom!

I concur with the other replies to your posting.

A few things to consider. First of all is that while it is good to test and see what happens when... It is equally as important to take these results for what they are -- data. Do not obsess (easy for me to say now, but I went through the test obsession like most people here did). Relax.

As Emm stated, any time you eat high carb foods, particularly foods with a high GI rating, you are stressing those beta cells. So, the lesson to be learned is what foods drive you into very high ranges, and avoid them in the future (despite the fact that you love them) or (as a compromise) restrict the portion size of the high-BG-drivers (yes portion size is important). You will have to savor those foods more as you eat less of them, but you can, so to speak, have your cake and eat it too, only in smaller portions.
