Tastes good but VERY glycemic
The waffles I made with this mix we’re easy to make and tasted fine BUT they are NOT low glycemic and will bump you out of ketosis.
I have been a type I diabetic for 50 years and am always on the lookout for low glycemic foods. Many that claim this are not. I evaluate their claims by using my body as a laboratory. I started out this morning with a BG of 80. I then ate 2 waffles made with this mix according to directions. I took an amount of insulin (via my pump) to cover the number of net carbs claimed in the nutritional facts. Despite this my BG was 270 an hour later. I rebolused to correct this and it came down rapidly which is what occurs when I eat something with very refined carbs in it. The first ingredient in this mix is tapioca starch which made me wary even before I ate it.
If you are looking for a pancake mix that is TRULY not glycemic try the one made by “Diabetic Kitchen “. It is very good. Also I highly recommend products by “Thin Slim Foods”
