For you diabetes ridden poor creatures. Is there a particular app you use to quickly and accurately gauge a foods carb factor at a glance? Preferably in 15g increments? I am going to be taking care of someone with this obnoxious DoT ailment and want answers on the fly without researching every single damn thing in google.
>>21636541>this obnoxious DoT ailmentfucking kekI don't know the answer you want, but I'm avoiding type 2 by controlling what I eat, and I just ask my phone's AI. Calories don't mean much, but the glycemic index is really helpful, as is carb content, fiber, protein and fat content. It's all available through the phone AI. You'll start getting advertisements for diabeetus, though.
>>21636595Meh still on the cuckphone 13 pro. Not upgrading until they make that bitch fold out into a tablet. Also means I don't got the caked in AI on that older model. Mostly concerned about carb count really. The person is very old and hardly eats but their BS spikes and craters like a flappy birds game. So I just have to be real careful. The difference between 10 carbs and 20 carbs could lead to a fucking 45-70 point difference in sugar.
>>21636628I use an iphone8 plus. I just hold down the home key and ask the phone a question, and I get an answer. Carbs aren't as important as their glycemic value, and having them eat protein first, even just a few bites, gears up their body for digesting proteins, and the glycemic impact of everything is lessened. Glycemic value is simply how effective specific carbs are at spiking your blood sugar. For example, pineapple will spike the shit out of their blood sugar, but cherries will be less detrimental. Some carbs increase blood sugar slowly and some are instantaneous. Furthermore, sugar affects mental clarity in seniors. Monk fruit powder helps add sweetness without gastrointestinal distress or blood sugar spike. Carbs AND glycemic index are very important.
>>21636628If they like chips and doritos and shit, get them to eat pork rinds. No carbs. It's not health food, but it's not carbs or sugar, and if you crush them, you can bread fried foods with them, and it's delicious, WAY more than you're imagining right now. I now prefer it to most breadings.
>>21636649Interdasting. I'd called bullshit but bananas are literally forbidden within the household. He ate a whole banana last year and was in the 400's for 2 godamn days. No one could figure it out until we had DQ and he took a bite out of a naner split. Right the fuck back to 350.
>>21636654>0 carbsHoly shit anon that is genius. I'll get him some this week see if he likes them. If so that is a good snack I don't have to do math on and can be incorporated into meals as breading. or filler.
>>21636656Yeah, bananas are bad for diabeetics.Look for keto and paleo low-carb recipes. You'll have a better chance of finding useful recipes they'll enjoy and ask for again.You've probably heard this before, but everything out of a box is poison. It's not hard to cook chicken and beef and pork from scratch, and it's delicious and good for diabeetics. Avoid seed oils and alternate sweeteners. They cause problems that are both related and unrelated to success treating diabeetus. They're universally inflammatory.
