Michelle, I hope you don't mind me cut-and-pasting your quote from the high-protein/low-carb thread into this new thread.

I just started eating Greek yogurt --I like it. It tastes the same to me as reg. yogurt but I think it's creamier. I eat plain too but will often add come blueberries in 'cause those things are just so darned good for you (and don't raise your blood sugar).


I definitely have something food-related going on and plan to get out for a blood work up if this snow ever melts. However, I've been keeping a food diary, noting what/when I eat and the nausea I feel at different times of day (oh, and I'm not pregnant). I suspect I have blood sugar issues.

Your comment about blueberries not raising blood sugar just makes me wonder if there are others. This is all pretty new to me, so forgive me if I just sound ignorant! I'm already noticing how different foods affect my symptoms, and it's discouraging that even "good for me" foods can have an effect.

So, is there anything else that doesn't raise blood sugar?

In general berries do not raise blood sugar in most people, though everyone is different so you have to sort of try things out.

The glycemic index is a good place to start but only as a guideline. Not everything that is low on the glycemic index won't raise your blood sugar and vice-versa.

Many places will tell you for instance that carrots raise blood sugar because they are so sweet but I can tell you that carrots do not raise my blood sugar and they do not raise the blood sugar of my diabetic children.

Molly,

FWIW, soy also makes me nauseous.

Cream cheese doesn't raise blood sugar. I have become a cream cheese addict...
