Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Sprouted grains and whole grains are much lower on the glycemic index. There are three books I'd recommend: Nancy Berkoff's Vegan menu for people with diabetes PCRM's Healthy Eating for Life to Prevent and Treat Diabetes Neil Barnard's (also of PCRM)-- Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs Good luck!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I believe that you are ok if you stick to the wholemeal/wholegrain varieties of these foods. It’s the white refined stuff that the body turns into sugar.

I went to the whole grains breads etc when I was diagnosed 4 years ago. Still love my multigrain toast and peanut butter in the morning!
