Picture how and when your food affects your blood sugar

Amy Tenderich has posted a really useful picture that shows hows different types of food affect your blood sugar.

Now this is all based on the Glycemic Index of different food types. I know that this index is often used as a way to help people diet, and there's some controversy about whether or not it's effective for that purpose. But ignoring the dietary issues, I do find the curves in Amy's picture really look like what I expect to see when I eat food.

Has anyone found an effective way for dealing with that long tail for fat? My CDE gave me an algorithm that she has found works. If anyone is interested I can try and write up a post about it.

Hi Bernard!

I would love to read something about your CDE's algorithm...

No rush though - I'll hold off on eating that pint of ice cream until you post it... (just kidding!)
