[Diabetes-talk] eating pork and blood sugar levels

[cheryl echevarria]

So you only had protein, no carbs or anything else.

Protein alone especially for diabetics put a lot of pressure on your kidneys.

  Lynn,
  I realize I had a few other carbs aside from the pork, but it was ham and
  breakfast sausage links.

  Hi Alan,
  I am a registered dietitian and a CDE.  I have never seen objective info.
  that pork itself raises blood sugar.  I would be curious as to what type of
  pork you are eating and what else you are eating with it.  I say this
  because I am wondering if there are other carbohydrates in your pork meals
  that are raising your blood sugar.  This could be carbs in the pork itself
  (such as the glaze on a honey ham or breading) or carbs in what you eat with
  it.  If you can tell me what you had, I could make a few suggestions.
  Lynn
