Boiled patato

I don't know about the article you mention. I don't know why a potato with butter or cooked in oil would be bad. Unless they mean a low fat potato would be better for someone. I think that diabetics shouldn't eat many potatoes because they are a high glycemic food. High glycemic foods raise blood sugar levels.

Hi
I am a caregiver and I also have a degree in diet and food etc, and I also work full time with some one who is a type 1 brittle diabetic, as for potato's being bad or good for a diabetic, I would say all food can be ok if it is eaten in MODERATION!! that is the key to it all..
I quite often make a baked potato for the person I look after and her levels do not go up that high from it..
She will usually have a 1/2 baked potato that I do in the microwave for her, then I put just enough butter on it to keep it from being too dry..
As for boiled potato, same thing, don't load it down with junk like butter, sour cream, gravy etc..

During digestive process carbohydrates are broken down into the simplest form of sugar and glycaemic index measures how quickly the breakdown process will take and so how fast the levels of sugar in blood rise.High glycaemic index will cause blood sugar level to raise quickly,making it more likely to develop insulin resistant,high blood pressure and diabetes.My father has both high blood pressure and diabetes so, he avoid eating high glycaemic index food.keep healthy and cheers..
