Matthew James Finnem :
didnt we do this in the late 90's? I remember as an 18 yr old having to explain that, as a T1D, I dont care about some food's GI (I could care about a GI, if he was good looking and a decent sort of chap, mind you). Nowadays, Im more equipped to explain about the other bits in food that make a difference...but yeah, do we *have* to do this again? What's gonna be next? 70's wallpaper with the big flowers?

Blimpy 🇿🇦 🇩🇪 :
there is no point in looking at glycemic index (GI) without considering the glycemic load (GL) - the quantity or portion size

unfortunately as a type 1 diabetic I have no choice but to zoom in on glycemic index and blood glucose. my phone tells me my sugar level every 5 minutes and that rice cake is not worth the spike. I'm definitely making the sacrifice for some hot chips though.

Praetorian1995 :
a small singular sugar cube has less carbs in it than 5 kgs of uncooked rice. she's suggesting that a rice cake is worse because it gives you a larger and longer blood sugar spike 😂 wildest nonsense I've heard in a while

But then how will they scare people into their diet plans/supplements/life coaching programs?! Will you please think of the poor grifters???

At first I thought for sure she’s brining up rice cakes to show the GI isn’t the be all and end all… but no

As a type 1 diabetic I absolutely hate the misunderstanding of blood sugar and insulin.

Thank you for taking the time to get information out there instead of scare mongering! 👏

Tammy :
If you’re insulin resistant (I’m diabetic) you have to watch portion size on even zero GI foods. Too much of literally anything can spike me.

I actually like the chocolate rice cakes. Are they they the best? No. But for a rice cake they're pretty good!

I really think GI is mostly only really useful information for type 1 diabetics, and even then it's just to determine how far in advance they should give their insulin 🤷🏼♀️

💋Alex💋 :
I take insulin and I couldn't care less about the glycemic index if I tried. I just need to know how many carbs, how much fiber, and if its a dumbass food (respectfully) like pasta that has a delayed sugar spike. And even then its a crap shoot. if your pancreas works, just let it do it's job, I promise the headache of figuring this stuff out isn't worth it unless you absolutely have to do it.
