  • the information you need about carbs vs exercise vs time of day (shit you not) is far to complex to make head of tail of it

    Wait until you hear about the how the preparation, order and combinations of foods impact their glycemic index.

  • Oh my god tell me about it!
    Pizza;
    Fast acting carbs in the base,
    Fast acting carbs in the tomatoes, but not as fast.
    Cheese low carb, but fatty, so fuck up the release of the other carbs. Meaning a dual rate of insulin for Liz , some instant, some on delay over the next hour or so.
    Chips forget it!
    Fast carbs in potatoes, but the fat masks it, so it becomes slow.

    We count all the carbs and then work out the speed and luckily Liz’s pump sorts the dose, but Liz still has to decide the rate.
    I’ll be honest I don’t know how she does it and still rides to work each day.
