Low-glycemic foods: Best options and dietary tips (medicalnewstoday.com)

I started using low gi sugar about 10 years ago. It was a raw sugar with a coating to make slower to absorb in the stomach. When I did a bit of research, I realised that when it was use in hot beverages, the whole lot was dissolved in the beverage - basically reverting to a normal sugar. I stopped using it. I don't know if this works the same way, but I suspect that it does.

I buy the Coles brand sweeteners 300 tablets (phenylalanine) , no bitter aftertaste that I can tell (in my coffee, tea and home made lemonade), the coles commercial no sugar lemonade which uses the same sweetener actually leaves a very mild yicky aftertaste (maybe one of the other chemicals, not sure)

the best thing for blood sugar control in my opinion is regular fasting with beef or chicken flavoured broth. unfortunately that seriously clashes with my desire for pizza

I have been referred to a dietician, having crept up over the magic number 7 in the blood test. Currently use Metformin for control. I'll have some questions for the dietician .
