From: Michelle C on
Since the infamous pineapple episode, I've been backtracking and
retesting all fruits. 1/2 a grapefruit was okay if eaten with bacon and
eggs, although the spike occurred at 15 minutes. Today, I tried
strawberries eaten with a yellow squash lasagna. Didn't make the 15 minute
test, but tested at 30 minutes. BG = 144. I'm quite sure the 15 minute
test would have been higher. Guess I'll cut the quantity or give them up
altogether. Sigh. I'm not too annoyed about giving them up (right now, I'm
feeling too lazy to go through the testing to see how many is actually
safe), but I'm annoyed that I've been eating them semi-regularly thinking
they were okay and inadvertently jacking up my BG.
