Chestnuts?

Hello everyone...

Now is the time to eat chestnuts ... how do you take it? ...

After so many years of diabetes, now that I am well controlled, for the first time I have eaten them ... I have punctured ... and I have it very high !!

How do you calculate it?

Thank you!!

You have to look in a hydrates table, but they must be similar to potatoes ..

I just saw that 20g of chestnuts are two portions ..

In another it says that 20g are a ration .. you will have to do with what they upload to you, but in both tables they coincide with cooked potatoes.

Hello! I have been looking for chestnuts at diets.net and I have seen that every 100g edible have 36.50 d carbohydrates

Well yes.I believed that chestnuts were a dry and confident fruit the other day I ate four and the blood glucose was put by the nuves.What I don't know what IG have but apparently absorb rapidito

Hello
As far as I know, they are equivalent in H. de C. al Pan.This is at least put in an equivalence table that I have.That is 20 grs = 1 ration of H. de C. I do not know your glycemic index, yes, I can say for your own experience that I cannot happen at all with them: I get the glucose enough.

All the best.

Hello companion.
Raw chestnuts would be 30g a ration.
And toast 25 grams a ration.
And its glycemic index 65 (medium) in both cases.This means that sugar passes in blood in a medium time.
The information source is provided by Foundation for Diabetes.There you have a very extensive table of carbohydrates.I hope I have helped you.Thanks and take care of yourself.

Chestnuts are an exception, unlike other nuts, they have a high glycemic level.I have covered them from my list

Each person is a world, although there are established rules, for example, I like about 9 chestnuts and the truth is that after 2 or more hours my glycemic index is quite well, about 170, my "insulin diet" ... hehehe is of30 + 30 (tomorrow and noon) and 45 at night (my insulin is the Novomix 50 and 30) by the way of the night must be injected into the pompis, as it is assimilated more slowly (said by a specialist) ,,,So I stay with a gly of +/- 7, my endocrine told me that the diabetics must take some sugar, I mean no sugar !!, because our body needs it, I am careful, for example now a pair of normal polvorones ok, but each one responds differently, try and check, the best way to mounted their response to the reaction, greetings sweet people

Thank you all !!!

Hello, I'm new to the forum.Use bomb for three years.Although I have sugar for 48. Only an observation in case it can help you.20 GMS are 2 rations HC.To calculate the amount of insilin it is very important to calculate this.All the best.
