Leanne was seven and a half months pregnant when she developed gestational diabetes. Her doctor advised her to keep her blood sugar level after meals less than 7 millimoles/litre. To check this, Leanne performed finger-prick blood tests on herself every day. The only time she found her blood sugar tended to be higher than 7 was after her main meal in the evening. By looking back over the results of her home blood sugar monitoring, she found that her blood sugar was high if she ate potato but fine when she had pasta. The secret to good blood sugars for Leanne? Pasta more often, and inclusion of low G.I. carbohydrate whenever she had potato.

Many people with diabetes have to resort to tablets to control blood sugar levels. The following story shows you how an increased intake of low G.I. carbohydrate foods can sometimes make tablets unnecessary.
